Ratio and Proportion:
1. The ratio of third proportional to 10 and 20 and the mean proportional between 49 and 64 is:
Solution:
Let
the third proportional be x.
10:20::20:x
4x=
20*20
x=
40.
The
mean proportional between 49 and 64 is (49*64)1/2 = 7*8 = 56.
The
ratio between them is 40: 56
5: 7
2. In a ratio, which
is equal to 4:9, if the antecedent is 16, then the consequent is:
Solution:
Let
the consequent be x.
4/9 = 16/x
x =
(16*9)/4
x = 36.
