RATIO AND PROPORTION
These involves ratio and proportion. The answers are these: 1) a; 2) a; and 3) b.
In number 1, let x be the unknown or the length of fabric in meters. The ratio can be expressed in 5:2 = x:30. Half an hour is 30 minutes. It should be same in units. By cross-multiplication, x = 15(5) = 75 meters. For number 2, by cross-multiplication, the ratio is 9:2 = 18:x where x is the unknown. 9 times x is equal to 18 times 2. x will be 36 divided by 9 which is 4. For number 3, direct proportional is the proportion that as the one quantity increases, the other quantity also increases.
