Study Notes
Proportion
- Inverse proportion exists between:
- Amount of interest and rate of interest (as one increases, the other decreases)
- Speed of a racing car and time taken by it to reach the finishing line (as speed increases, time taken decreases)
- Time taken and distance travelled by a car (as time taken increases, distance travelled decreases)
- Number of laborers and time taken by them to do the work (as laborers increase, time taken decreases)
Cost and Quantity
- If 10 books cost $5, then 12 books would cost $6 (proportional increase in cost with quantity)
- If 4 men can build a room in 5 days, then 10 men would build the same room in 2 days (proportional decrease in time with increase in men)
Work and Time
- If 35 men can reap a field in 8 days, then 20 men would reap the same field in 14 days (proportional increase in time with decrease in men)
- If 1 person can put 200 letters into envelopes in 1 hour, then:
- 4 people would put 200 letters into envelopes in 0.25 hours (1/4 of the time)
- 6 people would put 200 letters into envelopes in 0.17 hours (1/6 of the time)
- 10 people would put 200 letters into envelopes in 0.1 hours (1/10 of the time)
Distance and Time
- If a journey is 300 miles, then:
- At 60 mph, it would take 5 hours to complete the journey
- At 50 mph, it would take 6 hours to complete the journey
- At 40 mph, it would take 7.5 hours to complete the journey
