I. R A T I O
1. Look at the picture below. Measure the length and the width of each
photo.
Photo I
Length = … cm and width = … cm
Perimeter of photo = 2 × ( … + … ) =
....
Area of photo = … × … = ….
Photo II
Length = … cm and width = … cm
Perimeter of photo = 2 × ( … + … ) =
....
Area of photo = … × … = ….
Ratio
a. Both length = … : … = … : ....
b. Both width = … : … = … : ....
c. Both perimeter = … : … = … : ….

II. DIRECT PROPORTION

A. SCALE DRAWING

Scale = The distance on The Map : The

real Distance

WORK SHEET
1. On the map the distance between City A and City B is 2.5 cm. The real
distance of those cities is 150 km. What the scale of a map?
Solution: - The distance on the map : … cm
- The real distance : … km = …………….. cm
Scale = The distance on the map : The real distance
= ….. cm : ……. Cm
= 1 : …..
So the scale of the map is 1 : ….
2. On the map with the scale 1 : 10,000,000, the distance between
Bandung and Purwakarta is
2.8 cm. What is real distance of Bandung to Purwakarta?
Solution: - The scale = ….
- The distance on the map = … cm
Scale = the distance on the map : the real distance
1 2.8
=
... x
1× x = 2.8 × ….
x = ….
So the real distance of Bandung to Purwakarta is …………. cm =
…….. km.
3. The real distance between Cileunyi and Kosambi is 20 km. What the
distance of those place on the map with the scale 1 : 500,000?
Solution:
- The real distance = … km = …………….. cm
- Scale = 1 : …………….
Scale = the distance on the map : the real distance
1 x
=
500,000 ..........cm

1
x = × ……….
500,000
x = …………….
So the distance between Cileunyi and Kosambi on the map is ….
cm.

B. PHOTOS AND SCALE MODELS

Length in models Width in model Height in

Look at the model of a house on the left. The height of the door and
model
the window in a model is 2 cm and 1 cm. The real height of the door
is 3.5 m, what is= = of the window?
the real height
Length Solution:
in reality Width in reality Height
in reality - the real height of the window (RW) = x m
- the height of the door in model (MD) = … cm
- the height of the window in model (MW) = … cm
W- the
O real
RK SofHtheEdoor
height E T(RD) = … m = … cm
1.
RW RD
=
MW MD

..... .....

.....
x = ×1
.....
x = ….
So the real height of the window is … cm = … m
 2. The height of the car model is 10 cm. If the real height and the real
length of the car are 2 m and 5 m, what the length of the car model?
Solution:
- the length of the car model (LM) = x cm
- the height of the car model (HM) = … cm
- the real height of the car (HR) = … m = … cm
- the real length of the car (LR) = … m = … cm

LM HM
=
LR HR

x ....

II. PROBLEM
1. The class will be group into several groups. The number of students
in each group is the same. For Mathematics lesson, the number of
students for 3 groups is 8. But for Physics lesson the number of
each group is 4, how many group are there in Physics lesson?
Solution:
Scheme of a problem
Number Number
of group of students
3 → 8
4 → x
x 3
=
8 4
.....
x = × 8
.....
x = …..
So the number of students for 4 groups is ….
2. For build a house 25 workers can do it in 72 days. If there are only
18 workers, how many days to build a house they do?
Solution:
Scheme of a problem
Workers Days
25 → 72
18 → x
x 25
=
72 18
 .....
x = × 18
.....
x = …..
So to build a house by 18 workers, they need ….. days.
