In a year, Seema earns ₹ 1,50,000 and saves ₹ 50,000. Find the ratio of (a) Money that Seema earns to the money she saves (b) Money that she saves to the money she spends. Solutions: Money earned by Seema = ₹ 150000 Money saved by her = ₹ 50000 Money spent by her = ₹ 150000 – ₹ 50000 = ₹ 100000 (a) Ratio of money earned to money saved = 150000 / 50000 = 15 / 5 = 3 / 1 (b) Ratio of money saved to money spent = 50000 / 100000 = 5 / 10 = 1 / 2 9. There are 102 teachers in a school of 3300 students. Find the ratio of the number of teachers to the number of students. Solutions: Given Number of teachers in the school = 102 Number of students in the school = 3300 The ratio of the number of teachers to the number of students = 102 / 3300 = (2 × 3 × 17) / (2 × 3 × 550) = 17 / 550 10. In a college, out of 4320 students, 2300 are girls. Find the ratio of (a) Number of girls to the total number of students. (b) Number of boys to the number of girls. (c) Number of boys to the total number of students. Solutions: Given Total number of students = 4320 Number of girls = 2300 Number of boys = 4320 – 2300 = 2020 (a) Ratio of the number of girls to the total number of students = 2300 / 4320 = (2 × 2 × 5 × 115) / (2 × 2 × 5 × 216) = 115 / 216 (b) Ratio of the number of boys to the number of girls = 2020 / 2300 = (2 × 2 × 5 × 101) / (2 × 2 × 5 × 115) = 101 / 115 (c) Ratio of the number of boys to the total number of students = 2020 / 4320 = (2 × 2 × 5 × 101) / (2 × 2 × 5 × 216) = 101 / 216CBSE Syllabus Class 6 | |
