Card 4Dividing in a Given Ratio

Divide ₹120 between Hari and Gopi in the ratio 5 : 3. How much does each get?

Answer

Total parts = 5 + 3 = 8 Hari's share = (5/8) × 120 = ₹75 Gopi's share = (3/8) × 120 = ₹45 Answer: Hari = ₹75, Gopi = ₹45

Card 5Ratio in Geometry

The sides of a triangle are in the ratio 3 : 2 : 4. If the perimeter is 27 cm, find each side.

Answer

Total parts = 3 + 2 + 4 = 9 One part = 27 ÷ 9 = 3 cm Side 1 = 3 × 3 = 9 cm Side 2 = 2 × 3 = 6 cm Side 3 = 4 × 3 = 12 cm Answer: 9 cm, 6 cm, 12 cm

Card 6Proportion Check

Check if ₹6 : ₹8 and 12 kg : 16 kg form a proportion.

Card 7Finding Missing Term in Proportion

The numbers 8, x, 9, and 36 are in proportion. Find x.

Answer

Since they are in proportion: 8 : x = 9 : 36 Cross-multiply: 8 × 36 = 9 × x → 288 = 9x x = 288 ÷ 9 = 32 Answer: x = 32

Card 8Ratio in Mixtures

The ratio of copper to zinc in an alloy is 9 : 8. If zinc weighs 9.6 kg, find copper weight.

Answer

Let copper = 9x, zinc = 8x Given: 8x = 9.6 → x = 9.6 ÷ 8 = 1.2 Copper = 9 × 1.2 = 10.8 kg Answer: 10.8 kg
