FAQs on RS Aggarwal Solutions: Ratio and Proportion - Mathematics (Maths) Class 7
| 1. What is the definition of ratio and proportion? |  |
Ans. Ratio is the quantitative relationship between two or more quantities, indicating how many times one quantity is contained in another. Proportion is an equation that states that two ratios are equal.
| 2. How do I solve problems involving ratio and proportion? | |
Ans. To solve problems involving ratio and proportion, you can use the following steps:
1. Identify the given ratios or proportions.
2. Set up an equation using the given ratios or proportions.
3. Solve the equation to find the unknown value.
| 3. What are the different types of ratios? | |
Ans. There are four types of ratios:
1. Simple Ratio: It compares two quantities of the same kind.
2. Compound Ratio: It compares two or more simple ratios.
3. Duplicate Ratio: It compares the square of two quantities.
4. Sub-duplicate Ratio: It compares the square root of two quantities.
| 4. Can you give an example of solving a problem using ratio and proportion? | |
Ans. Sure! Let's solve the following problem:
If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3:5 and there are 24 boys, how many girls are there?
Solution:
Step 1: Given ratio of boys to girls = 3:5
Step 2: Let the number of girls be x.
According to the given ratio, we can set up the proportion:
3/5 = 24/x
Step 3: Cross-multiply and solve for x:
3x = 5 * 24
3x = 120
x = 40
Therefore, there are 40 girls in the class.
| 5. How can ratio and proportion be applied in real-life situations? | |
Ans. Ratio and proportion are used in various real-life situations, such as:
1. Cooking: Recipes often require ingredients to be used in a certain ratio or proportion.
2. Finance: Calculating interest rates, investments, and loan repayments often involve ratios and proportions.
3. Maps and Scales: Maps and scale models use ratios to represent real-life distances.
4. Mixing Solutions: Chemical solutions are often mixed in specific ratios and proportions for desired outcomes.
5. Sports and Fitness: Athletes and fitness enthusiasts use ratios and proportions to track progress and set goals.
