Questions:
1.) Suppose a car uses 4 liters of petrol to travel a distance of 60 km. How far will it
travel using 12 liters?

2.) A bus travels 150km in 5 hours, what is the time taken by the bus to travel at
600km?

Answer key
1.) Solution:
Let n be the number of km travelled when a car has 12 liters

- 4:60=12:n - 4n = 720
4 12 4 n 720
- = - =
60 n 4 4
- 4n=60(12) - n=180
Final answer:
 The car can travelled at 180 km when it has 12 liters of petrol

2.) Solution:
Let n be the time taken by the bus to travel at 600km
- 5:150 = n:600 - 3000 = 150n
5 n 3000 150 n
- = - =
150 600 150 150
- 600(5) = 150n - n = 20
Final answer:
 The time taken by the bus to travel at 600km is 20 hours

Partitive Proportion

Questions:

1.) Nikkola plans to donate her 72 bags of toys to the 4 orphanage in the ratio of
2:2:2:2. How many bags of toys each orphanage will receive?

2.) I’m going to buy ballpens, notebooks, and paint brushes for my school. I only
have PHP 6872 pocket money and I want to divide my money in the ratio of
3:3:2. How much money will each school supply get?

Answer key
1.) Solution:
2.) Solution:
- 2+2+2+2 = 8
- 4+3+1= 8
72 6872
- =9 - =859
8 8
- 9 x 2 = 18 - 859 x 3 = 2577

9 x 2 = 18 859 x 3 = 2577

9 x 2 = 18 ii859 x 2 = 1718

9 x 2 = 18 Final answer:
 Ballpens – PHP 2577
 Notebooks – PHP 2577
Final Answer:
 Paint brushes - PHP 1718
* First orphanage - 18 bags of toys
* Second orphanage - 18 bags of toys
* Third orphanage - 18 bags of toys
* Fourth orphanage - 18 bags of toys
