- RATIO ,PROPORTION AND UNITARY METHOD.
2INTRODUCING RATIO
- When we compare two numbers or quantities by
dividing one by the other, we say we have formed
the ratio of the two numbers or have followed the
method of division.
3Ratio in ALGEBRAIC form
- The ratio of any number a to number b can be
written as a upon b or a divided by b or ab and
is read as a is to b.
4Example-If in a class 20 boys are selected for
football team and 10 girls are selected for
tennis team, then how shall we find the ratio of
no of boys in football team to the girls in the
tennis team?
- We may say that boys in the football team are
twice than the girls in the tennis team. Here we
divide 20 by10 and we call this RATIO OR METHOD
OF COMPARISON BY DIVISION
- Thus a ratio of 20 and 10 is 20 divided by 10. A
ratio is therefore, a fraction,and all rules that
are applicable to fraction are applicable to
ratio also.
5Some things to remember!
- It should be noted that a RATIO IS A NUMBER.It
has NO UNITS. The ratio sould always be EXPRESED
IN ITS SIMPLEST FORM, that is in the form in
which its terms have no factors in common other
than 1.WE SHOULD THERFORE ,WRITE A RATIO OF, SAY
3224 AS 43 AND EXPRESS A RATIO AS 1/2 INSTEAD
OF 5/10 OR 14/28.
6- Note that only measures of like quantities can be
compared. For example we cannot compare Rs2 and
2Kg. However we can compare Rs2 and 50paise.
Since we express Rs2 in paiseRs2 200p. The
ratio thus becomes 20050, which in simplest form
is 41. Since, 20050 or 200/50 4/1 or 41
7Comparing Ratios
- In order to compare two or more ratios, we reduce
them to the same denominator. - Whenever two fractions are in a ratio, multiply
them by the LOWEST COMMON MULTIPLE L.C.M. of
their denominators, and whenever two whole
numbers are in a ratio, divide both numerator and
denominator by their HIGEST COMMON FACTOR
H.C.F. in order to simplify the ratios.
8EXAMPLE-COMPARE THE RATIOS 25 AND 49
- TO SOLVE SUCH QUESTIONS WE FIRST FIND THE EQUAL
DENOMINATORS OF ANY TWO OR MORE RATIOS AND SO
25 2/5 BOTH NUMERATOR AND DENOMINATOR OF THE
FRACTION ARE MULTIPLIED BY 9AND THE ANSWER WHICH
WE GAIN IS 18/45.WE DO THE SAME WITH OTHER RATIO
THAT IS 49 WHICH IS EQUALS TO 4/9. THEN WE
MULTIPLY 4/9 BY 5 AND ANSWER WHICH WE GET IS
20/45. - SINCE 20/45 gt18/45
- THAT IS WHY 4/9gt 2/5 OR 49gt 25.
9INTRODUCING PROPORTION
- Whe two ratios are found to be equal they are
said to be in proportion. - e.g.- 23 46
- Proportion in algebric form ab cd
- NOTE-symbol is used for or equals to .
- So 2336 means 23 36 and abcd means
ab cd. And it is read as 2 is to b as 3 is to
6 and a is to b as c is to d.
10If I go to a shop to buy some milk, which costs
Rs 8 per litre. If we buy 5 litres of milk we pay
Rs 40. If we buy 8 litres of milk, we pay Rs 64.
Now what is the ratio of 5 litre to 8 litres of a
milk ?
- The ratio of 5litres to 8litres of milk is 58.
- what is the ratio of Rs 40 toRs 64 ?
- It is 4064 and we express this number in the
lowest form it is 58 . Thus we can say that - 584064
- Such a quantity of two ratios is known as a
proportion. - We say that the numbers 5 ,8 ,40 and 64 are in
proportion.
115, 8, 40 and 64 are called the terms of the
proportion. They are respectively first, second,
third and fourth terms. The first and fourth
terms are called extremes and second and the
third terms are called the middle or the mean
terms.
-
- If the product of the first and the fourth term
are equal to product of the second and third term
then we say that the number are in proportion.
And if it is not so then the numbers not in
propotion.
12Are these ratios in proportion?
- Find if the numbers10,20 30 and 40 are in
proportion? - We follow the same rule as shown in the prievous
example. - So10 multiplied by 40 is not equal to 20
multiplied by 30 - And 400 is not equal to 600
- That is why 10, 20 , 30 and 40 are not in
proportion.
- Find if the numbers 15,25,30 and 50 are in the
ratios? - product of the extreme terms equals to product
of the mean terms. - That is why 15 multiplied by 50 25multiplied by
30 Which is equal to 750750 - And so 15, 90 ,30 and 5 are in proportion.
13UNITARY METHOD
- The problems which were solved by ratio and
proportion method can also be solved by method
popularly known as unitary method. - In this method , we first find the value of one
(unit) quantity from the value of the given
quantities and then find the value of the
required number of quantities.
14The monthly consuption of cereals of a hostel
with 500 students is 6500 Kg . Find the
consuption if the number of students is only 75.
- Consuption of cereals by 500 students6500Kg
- Consuption by 1 student6500 divided by 50013Kg
- Consuption by 75 students13multipied by 75
975Kg
