## Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 6th Maths Solutions Term 1 Chapter 3 Ratio and Proportion Ex 3.2

Question 1.
Fill in the blanks of the given equivalent ratios.
(i) 3 : 5 = 9 : ……
(ii) 4 : 5 = …… : 10
(iii) 6 : …… = 1 : 2
Solution:
(i) 15
Hint: $$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3 \times 3}{5 \times 3}=\frac{9}{15}$$
(ii) 8
Hint: $$\frac{4}{5}=\frac{4 \times 2}{5 \times 2}=\frac{8}{10}$$
(iii) 12
Hint: $$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1 \times 6}{2 \times 6}=\frac{6}{12}$$

Question 2.
Complete the table.

Solution:
(i) 1 feet = 12 inches
3 feet = 3 × 12 inches = 36 inches
72 inches = 6 × 12 inches = 6 feet

(ii) 1 week = 7 days
2 weeks = 2 × 7 days = 14 days
63 days = 9 × 7 days = 9 weeks

Question 3.
Say True or False.
(i) 5 : 7 is equivalent to 21 : 15
(ii) If 40 is divided in the ratio 3 : 2, then the larger part is 24
Solution:
(i) False
Hint: $$\frac{21}{15}=\frac{7}{5}=7: 5$$
(ii) True
Hint: $$\frac{3}{5} \times 40=24$$

Question 4.
Give two equivalent ratios for each of the following.
(i) 3 : 2
(ii) 1 : 6
(iii) 5 : 4
Solution:
(i) 3 : 2

3 : 2 = 6 : 4 = 9 : 6

(ii) 1 : 6

1 : 6 = 2 : 12 = 3 : 18

(iii) 5 : 4

5 : 4 = 10 : 8 = 15 : 12

Question 5.
Which of the two ratios is larger?
(i) 4 : 5 or 8 : 15
(ii) 3 : 4 or 7 : 8
(iii) 1 : 2 or 2 : 1
Solution:
(i) 4 : 5 (or) 8 : 15

4 : 5 > 8 : 15

(ii) 3 : 4 (or) 7 : 8

7 : 8 > 3 : 4

(iii) 1 : 2 (or) 2 : 1
1 : 2 = $$\frac{1}{2}$$
2 : 1 = $$\frac{2}{1}$$
= 2
$$\frac{2}{1}$$ > $$\frac{1}{2}$$
2 : 1 > 1 : 2

Question 6.
Divide the numbers given below in the required ratio.
(i) 20 in the ratio 3 : 2
(ii) 27 in the ratio 4 : 5
(iii) 40 in the ratio 6 : 14.
Solution:
(i) Ratio = 3 : 2
Sum of the ratio = 3 + 2 = 5
5 parts = 20
1 part = $$\frac{20}{5}$$ = 4
3 parts = 3 × 4 = 12
2 parts = 2 × 4 = 8
20 can be divided in the form as 12, 8.

(ii) Ratio = 4 : 5
Sum of the ratio = 4 + 5 = 9
9 parts = 27
1 part = $$\frac{27}{9}$$ = 3
4 parts = 4 × 3 = 12
5 parts = 5 × 3 =15
27 can be divided in the form as 12, 15.

(iii) 40 in the ratio 6 : 14
Ratio = 6 : 14
Sum of the ratio = 6 + 14 = 20
20 parts = 40
1 part = $$\frac{40}{20}$$ = 2
6 parts = 2 × 6 = 12
14 parts = 2 × 14 = 28
40 can be divided in the form as 12, 28.

Question 7.
In a family, the amount spent in a month for buying Provisions and Vegetables are in the ratio 3 : 2. If the allotted amount is Rs 4000, then what will be the amount spent for
(i) Provisions and
(ii) Vegetables?
Solution:
Allotted amount = Rs 4000
Ratio = 3 : 2
Sum of the ratio = 3 + 2 = 5
5 parts = Rs 4000
1 part = Rs $$\frac{4000}{5}$$ = Rs 800
Provisions : Vegetables = 3 : 2
3 parts = 3 × Rs 800 = Rs 2400
2 parts = 2 × Rs 800 = Rs 1600
Amount spent for provisions = Rs 2400
Amount spent for vegetables = Rs 1600

Question 8.
A line segment 63 cm long is to be divided into two parts in the ratio 3 : 4. Find the length of each part.
Solution:
Total length = 63 cm Ratio = 3 : 4
Sum of the ratio = 3 + 4 = 7
7 parts = 63 cm
1 part = $$\frac{63}{7}$$ = 9 cm
3 parts = 3 × 9 cm = 27 cm
4 parts = 4 × 9 cm = 36 cm
∴ 63 cm can be divided into the parts as 27 cm and 36 cm.
