Question 3.
Find the simplified form of the following ratios.
(i) 15 : 20
(ii) 32 : 24
(iii) 7 : 15
(iv) 12 : 27
(v) 75 : 100
Solution:
(i) 15 : 20
= $$\frac{15}{20}$$
= $$\frac{3}{4}$$
= 3 : 4

(ii) 32 : 24
= $$\frac{32}{24}$$
= $$\frac{4}{3}$$
= 4 : 3

(iii) 7 : 15

(iv) 12 : 27
= $$\frac{12}{27}$$
= $$\frac{4}{9}$$
= 4 : 9

(v) 75 : 100
= $$\frac{75}{100}$$
= $$\frac{3}{4}$$
= 3 : 4

Question 4.
Akilan walks 10 km in an hour while Selvi walks 6 km in an hour. Find the simplest ratio of the distance covered by Akilan to that of Selvi.
Solution:
Ratio of the distance covered by Akilan to that of Selvi = 10 km : 6 km
= $$\frac{10}{6}$$
= $$\frac{5}{3}$$
= 5 : 3

Question 5.
The cost of parking a bicycle is Rs 5 and the cost of parking a scooter is Rs 15. Find the simplest ratio of the parking cost of a bicycle to that of a scooter.
Solution:
Ratio of the parking cost of a bicycle to that of a scooter = Rs 5 : Rs 15
= $$\frac{5}{15}$$
= $$\frac{1}{3}$$
= 1 : 3

Question 6.
Out of 50 students in a class, 30 are boys. Find the ratio of
(i) number of boys to the number of girls.
(ii) the number of girls to the total number of students.
(iii) the number of boys to the total number of students.
Solution:
Total no of students = 50
No of boys = 30
No of girls = 50 – 30 = 20
(i) Ratio of boys to girls = 30 : 20
= $$\frac{30}{20}$$
= $$\frac{3}{2}$$
= 3 : 2

(ii) Ratio of girls to the total number of students = 20 : 50
= $$\frac{20}{50}$$
= $$\frac{2}{5}$$
= 2 : 5

(iii) Ratio of boys to the total no of students = 30 : 50
= $$\frac{30}{50}$$
= $$\frac{3}{5}$$
= 3 : 5
