Worksheet Overview

QUESTION 1 of 10

This worksheet is about keeping pairs of numbers in the same ratio.

If two quantities are in direct proportion, the ratio between corresponding values will always be the same.

 

a = 1 2 3 4 5
b = 1.5 3 4.5 6 7.5

 

1.5   3   4.5
=
=
1   2   3

 

b is directly proportional to a.

Here b = 1.5 x a

 

To find b when a = 6, we solve
b
6
=
1.5
1
b = 6 × 1.5 = 9

 

 

To find a when b = 12, we solve
12
a
=
1.5
1
a = 12 ÷ 1.5 = 8

Work out the values of A and B, given that the ratio of a:b is constant in this table.
