Question

Hi please I need help with my mMATHEMATICS ASSIGNMENTS

1. Find the value of x and y in the following ratios
a. 3:5 = x:20
b.11:35 = 66: y
2. In a village of 375 children under the age of 10. If 68% of them have had malaria, how many children have escaped the disease?
3. Five buses need 3 trips to take 450 students to the stadium to watch a concert. How many trips would the 3 buses need to take the same number of students?
4. The ratio of girls to boys in a boarding school is 2:7. If there are 1,251 students in the school:

5. An old carpet which now costs #1 000, was sold for #1 400 when new. Calculate the percentage decrease.
6. The cost of petrol is #65 per litre. What is the percentage increase if it is sold for #105 per litre by a dealer during fuel scarcity?

Answer 1

1

(a) Ans we are applying the formula

product of means = product of extremes

So according to the formula 5x = 60

x= 60/5

x = 12

(b) Ans we are applying the formula

product of means = product of extremes

2310=11 y

y = 2310/11

y = 210

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)In product of means we multiply inner values with each other like in this case for solution of a part 5 and x are inner values and in product of extremes we multiply outer value like in case of solution for a 3 and 20 are outer values.
