Question 1.
Find the ratio of the number of circles to number of squares.
Samacheer Kalvi 7th Maths Solutions Term 1 Chapter 4 Direct and Inverse Proportion Intext Questions 1
Solution:
Number of circles = 4 ;
Number of squares = 6
Number of circles : Number of squares = 4 : 6 = 2 : 3

Question 2.
Find the ratio (i) 555 g to 5 kg
(ii) 21 km to 175 m.
Solution:
(i) 1 kg = 1000 g
∴ 5 kg = 5000 g
∴ 555 g : 5 kg = 555 g : 5000 g = 111 : 1000

(ii) 21 km to 175m
1 km = 1000 m
21 km = 21 × 1000 = 21,000m
∴ 21 km : 175 m = 21000 : 175 = 120 : 1

Question 3.
Find the value of x in the following proportions :
(i) 110 8: 88
(ii) x : 26 :: 5: 65
Solution:
(i) Given 110 : x :: 8 : 88
Product of the means = Product of the extremes
x × 8 = 110 × 88
