Question

Question 3(b)

Is the following statement True or False:

7.5 litres : 15 litres = 5 kg : 10 kg

Answer 1

Ratio of 7.5 litres to 15 litres = 7.5 litres : 15 litres

= $\frac{7.5}{15}=\frac{75}{150}=\frac{1}{2}=1:2$

Ratio of 5 kg to 10 kg = 5 kg : 10 kg

= $\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}=1:2$

Since, 7.5 litres : 15 litres = 5 kg : 10 kg

Hence, the statement is True.
