- John has an income of $30000 and he pays $6000 as income tax. Find the ratio of:
[A] His income tax to income
[B] Income to income tax
[A] Ratio of income tax to income = 6000:30000 = 6000/30000 = 1/5 = 1:5.
[B] Ratio of income to income tax = 30000:6000 = 30000:6000 = 5/1 = 5:1 - If Adam ran 2 km on Monday and ran just 500 m on Tuesday, then what is the ratio of distance run by Adam on Tuesday to Monday?
Therefore, ratio of distance run by Adam on Tuesday to Monday
= 500:2000
= 500/2000
= 1/4
= 1:4 - Jake works in a software company and earns $1000 per month. From that, he saves $200 per month. What is the ratio of Jake’s savings to income?
- The first and the fourth terms of a proportion are 9 and the second term is 27. Find out the third term?
Let the third term be ‘m’.
Therefore,
27 x m = 9 x 9 ( by cross product multiplication)
27m = 9 x 9
27m = 81
m = 81/27
m = 3Therefore, the 3rd term is 3
- Is the statement true?
