What is the example of proportion?
In the first century, a Roman architect named Vitruvius studied proportion. He believed that the human body was aesthetically, the best example of proportion.
What is proportion called?
Proportion, in general, is referred to as a part, share, or number considered in comparative relation to a whole. Proportion definition says that when two ratio are equivalent, they are in proportion. It is an equation or statement used to depict that two ratios or fractions are equal.
What is a proportion answer?
If two or more ratios are equal, then it is said to be in proportion. The proportion can be represented in two different ways. Either it can be represented using an equal sign or by using a colon symbol.( i.e) a:b = c:d or a:b :: c:d.
What is a proportion formula?
A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other. For example, if there is 1 boy and 3 girls you could write the ratio as: 1 : 3 (for every one boy there are 3 girls) 1 / 4 are boys and 3 / 4 are girls.
Exercise – 7 B
Ratio and Proportion Class- 7th RS Aggarwal Goyal Brothers ICSE Maths Solution
1. Which of the following statements are true ?
(i) 51 : 68 = 85 : 102
Solution: 51 : 68 = 85 : 102
(51/68) = (85/102)
51 × 102 = 85 × 68
5508 = 5780
This statement is not true.
(ii) 1.5 : 2.5 = 3.6 : 6
Solution: 1.5 : 2.5 = 3.6 : 6
(1.5/2.5) = (3.6/6)
1.5 × 6 = 3.6 × 2.5
9.0 = 9.00
Hence this statement is true.
(iii) 30 bags : 18 bags = ₹ 450 : ₹270
Solution: 30 bags : 18 bags = ₹ 450 : ₹270
(30/18) = (450/270)
30 × 270 = 18 × 450
8100 = 8100
(iv) 32 kg : ₹36 = 8 kg : ₹9
[Hint : Ratio exists between quantities of some kind.]
Solution: 32 kg : ₹36 = 8 kg : ₹9
This statement is false because 32 kg and 8 kg are not same.
8 kg and 9 kg are not of same
