⇒ 3: 4 = = =
4 8 12 Example:18 Compare the ratios (5: 6) and (3: 4).
⇒ 3 : 4 = 6 : 8 = 9 : 12. SOLUTION We can write:
Hence, each one of 6 : 8 and 9 : 12 is equivalent to 3 : 4. 5 3

14 x 14 3 The LCM of 6 and 4 is 12.
SOLUTION Let = · Then, 21x = (14 × 3) ⇒ x = = 2 Making the denominator of each fraction equal to 12, we have:

Again, let - = ⋅ Then, 2y = (3 × 6) = 18 => y = 9.
3 y Hence, (5 : 6) > (3 : 4).
2 6 Example:19 The ratio of copper and zinc in an alloy is 5 : 3. if the weight of copper in the alloy
∴= ⋅ is 30.5 g,Jind the weight of zinc in it.
3 9 Solution Ratio of copper and zinc in the alloy = 5 : 3.

Hence, 14 = 2 = ⋅ Let the weight of copper and zinc in it be (5×) g and (3×) g respectively.
21 3 9 Now, weight of copper = (30.5) g (given).
EXAMPLE:15 Two numbers are in the ratio 5 : 4 and their sum is 162. Find the numbers.
SOLUTION Let the required numbers be 5x and 4x. Then, ∴ 5x = 30.5 ⇒ x = 30.5 = 6.1.
5x + 4x = 162 ⇒ 9x = 162 162 5
162
⇒ x = = 18 ⋅
9 ∴ weight of zinc ( )g= 3x = (3 6.1 g 18.3g.× ) =

So, the numbers are (5 × 18) and ( 4 × 18), i.e., 90 and 72. Just try:1 Anuj has 5 kites and T anuj has 10 kites. Who has more kites?
EXAMPLE: 16 Divide ₹ 1250 between Mayari.k and Ishita in the ratio 3 : 2. Just try:2 Rohit is 3 years old. His brother Mohit is 6 years old. Compare their ages.
SOLUTION Total money= ₹ 1250 and given ratio= 3: 2. Just try:3 The time taken by Gopi to reach school is 1 hour and the time taken by Gunjan to reach school is 40
Sum of ratio terms = (3 + 2) = 5. minutes. Compare the time taken by the two students to reach school.
