Question

What is compound ratio and give example.

Answer 1

Compound ratio and its example:

A compound ratio is obtained by multiplying two or more ratios term-wise. For example, if the two ratios are $m:n$ and $x:y$ then

$mx:ny$ is the compound ratio.

Example of a compound ratio :

For ratios $3:7$ and $2:5$.

, $m=3,n=7,x=2,$and $y=5$

Therefore, the compound ratio is

$3\times 2:7\times 5=6:35$

Thus, the compound ratio is obtained by multiplying two or more ratios term-wise.
