Question
Class 6MathematicsRatio & Proportion

Are the following statement true? 7.5litre: 15litre = 5kg: 10kg.

Verified Answer

7.5 liter : 15 liter
= 7.5/15 = (7.5×10)/(15×10) = 75/150
= (75÷75)/(150÷75) [∵ H.C.F.(75, 150) = 75]
= 1/2 = 1 : 2

5 kg : 10 kg = 5/10 = (5÷5)/(10÷5) [∵ H.C.F.(5, 10) = 5]
= 1/2 = 1 : 2

Since the two ratios are equal, therefore, the given statement is true (T).
