Question

Question 3(e)

Is the following statement True or False:

45 km : 60 km = 12 hours : 15 hours

Answer 1

Ratio of 45 km to 60 km = 45 km : 60 km

= $\frac{45}{60}=\frac{3}{4}=3:4$

Ratio of 12 hours to 15 hours = 12 hours : 15 hours

= $\frac{12}{15}=\frac{4}{5}=4:5$

Since, 45 km : 60 km $\ne$12 hours : 15 hours

Hence, the statement is False.
