3. What is ratio? TestBag TestBag
A ratio is an expression that compares quantities
relative to each other.
What is ratio?
Can be written as x to y, x : y, or x/y.
The most common examples involve two quantities,
but any number of quantities can be compared.0
Ratios are represented mathematically by separating
each quantity with a colon -

4. TestBag TestBag Example: The ratio 5 : 9 represents 5/9, here
The ratio of a to b is written as a : b or a/b = a÷b. Since a : b is a fraction, b can never be zero. The two quantities must be of the same kind.
In a : b, a is antecedent and b is consequent.
Example:
The ratio 5 : 9 represents 5/9, here
antecedent = 5,
Consequent=9.
The fraction a/b is usually different from the fraction b/a,
So the order of the terms in a ratio is important.
— ≠ — b a

5. TestBag TestBag  Example:
If the ratio between the first and the second quantities is a : b and the ratio between the second and third quantities is c : d, then the ratio among first, second and third quantities is given by ac : bc : bd.
Example:
The sum of three numbers is 98. If the ratio between the first and second be 2 : 3 and that between the second and third be 5 : 8, then find the second number.
Solution :
The ratio among the three numbers is
2 : 3
5 : 8
10 : 15 : 24
= —————— ×15 98
∴ The second number
= 30

If the ratio between then first and the second quantities is a : b the ratio between the second and the third quantities is c : d and the ratio between the third and the fourth quantities is e : f then the ratio among the first, second, third and fourth quantities is given by
1st : 2nd =
2nd : 3rd =
3rd : 4th = e c a d b f
1st : 2nd : 3rd : 4th = ace : bce : bde : bdf

7. TestBag TestBag Example : Solution:
If A : B = 3 : 4, B : C = 8 : 10 and C : D = 15 : 17
then find A : B : C : D.
Solution:
A : B
= : 4
B : C
= : 10
C : D
= : 17
A : B : C : D
= 3×8×15 : 4×8×15 : 4×10×15 : 4×10×17
= 9 : 12 : 15 : 17

8. TestBag TestBag 1.1 COMPOUND RATIO
Ratios are compounded by multiplying together the antecedents for a new antecedent, and the consequents for a new consequent.
Example :
The ratio compounded of the four ratios i.e. 2 : 3, 5 : 11, 18 : 7 and 21 : 4 is
Solution :
= ——————— = ——
3 × 11 × 7 ×
2 × 5 × 18 ×
= 45 : 11

9. TestBag
TestBag
A ratio, in the simplest form, is when both terms are integers, and when these integers are prime to one another. We may multiply or divide both terms of a ratio by the same number without affecting the value of the ratio. However, addition or subtraction of same numbers will affect the value of the ratio.
To express the ratio of two quantities, they must be expressed in the same units.
Example :
To find the ratio of 8 inches and 6 feet . First, we change 6 feet into inches, and then will find the ratio.
1 foot = 12 inches, so 6 feet = 12 x 6 = 72 inches.
—— = — 72 8 9 1
The ratio
Or, 1 : 9

10. TestBag TestBag 1.2 INVERSE RATIO
If a : b be the given ratio, then 1/a : 1/b or b : a
is called its inverse or reciprocal ratio.
Example :
A, B, C and D are four quantities of the same kind such
That A : B = 3 : 4, B : C = 8 : 9, C : D = 15 : 16. Find the
Ratio A : D.
— = —, — = —, — = —

A B C
Solution :
— = — × — × — = — × — × — = —
D B C D
A A B C ∴
∴ A : D = 5 : 8

Some other Ratios are :-
Duplicate Ratio of (a : b) is (a2 : b2)
Sub-duplicate Ratio of (a : b) is (√a : √b).
Triplicate Ratio of (a : b) is (a3 : b3).
Sub-triplicate Ratio of (a : b) is (a1/3 : b1/3).

12. What is a proportion? TestBag TestBag
A proportion is a statement where two ratios are equal.
If, m/n = p/q, it means m/n is in proportion with p/q and
can be written as m : n :: p : q, where m and q extreme left
and right parts are known as extremes and the middle parts
n and p are known as means or interim.
What is a proportion?
If four quantities be in proportion, the product of the
extremes is equal to the product of the means or interims.
or, — = — or m : n : : p : q
m p
n q
∴ m × q = n × p
Or m × q = Product of extremes And n × p = Product of interims (means)
Product of extremes = Product of interims (means)

13. TestBag TestBag Means a : b = c : d Extremes PROPORTION

In symbols, it is a/b = c/d or
Means

Extremes
Note : b and d must not be zero

14. TestBag TestBag a : b = c : d ad = bc 25x = 5(15) 25x = 75 x = 3
Example:
Find x,
a : b = c : d
x : 5 = 15 : 25
The product
of the means equals
the product of the
extremes.
25x = 5(15)
25x = 75
x = 3 OR
ad = bc

19. TestBag TestBag 2.4 TYPES OF PROPORTIONS A.) Direct Proportions
When any two quantities are related to each and if one increase or decreases, the other also increases or decreases to same extent, then they are said to be directly proportional to each other. Two variables a and b are directly proportional if they satisfy a relationship of the form a = kb, where k is a number..
A.) Direct Proportions
Example :
If 5 balls cost Rs 8, what do 15 balls cost ?
Solution :
5 balls : 15 balls : : Rs 8 : required cost
∴ The required cost = Rs ———
15 x 8 5
= Rs 24

20. TestBag TestBag B.) Inverse Proportion Example : Solution :
When the two quantities are related to each other in a such way that if one increase, the other decreases to the some extent and vice-versa, then they are said to be inversely proportional to each other. Two variables a and b are indirectly proportional if they satisfy a relationship of the form k = ab, where k is a number.
B.) Inverse Proportion
Example :
If 15 men can reap a field in 28 days, in how many
Days will 10 men reap it?
Solution :
∴ — : — : : ─ The required number of days
Or, 10 : 15 : : ─ The required number of days
∴ The required number of day = ————
15 x 28 10
= 42
