Question 3.
Reema has 24 notebooks and 18 books. Find the ratio of notebooks to books.
Solution:
Ratio of notebooks to books
∴ The ratio of notebooks to books with Reema is 4/3
Question 4.
30 cricket players and 20 kho-kho players are training on a field. What is the ratio of cricket players to the total number of players?
Solution:
Total number of players = Cricket players + Kho-kho players
= 30 + 20 = 50
Ratio of cricket players to the total number of players
∴ The ratio of cricket players to the total number of players is 3/5.
Question 5.
Snehal has a red ribbon that is 80 cm long and a blue ribbon 2.20 m long. What is the ratio of the length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon?
Solution:
1 metre =100 cm
Length of the red ribbon = 80 cm
Length of the blue ribbon = 2.20 m = 2.20 x 100 cm
∴ Ratio of length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon
∴ The ratio of the length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon is 4/11.
Question 6.
Shubham’s age today is 12 years and his father’s is 42 years. Shubham’s mother is younger than his father by 6 years. Find the following ratios.
i. Ratio of Shubham’s age today to his mother’s age today.
ii. Ratio of Shubham’s mother’s age today to his father’s age today.
iii. The ratio of Shubham’s age to his mother’s age when Shubham was 10 years old.
Solution:
Shubham’s age today = 12 years
Shubham’s father’s age = 42 years
Shubham’s mother age = Shubham’s father’s age – 6 years
= 42 years – 6 years = 36 years
i. Ratio of Shubham’s age today to his mother’s age today
∴ The ratio of Shubham’s age today to his mother’s age today is 1/3.
ii. Ratio of Shubham’s mother age today to his father’s age today
∴ The ratio of Shubham’s mother’s age today to his father’s age today is 6/7.
iii. Shubham’s age today is 12 years and his mothers age is 36 years.
Hence when Shubham’s age was 10 years, his mother’s age was 34 years (i.e. 36 – 2 years).
Ratio of Shubham’s age to his mother’s age when Shubham was 10 years old
∴ The ratio of Shubham’s age to his mother’s age when Shubham was 10 years old is
