1. A rectangular garden is 20 meters long and 15 meters wide.

A smaller garden is
10 meters long and 6 meters wide. What is the ratio of the area of the larger
garden to the area of the smaller garden?
Answer:
The area of the larger garden is 20 meters * 15 meters = 300 square meters.
The area of the smaller garden is 10 meters * 6 meters = 60 square meters.

The ratio of the area of the larger garden to the area of the smaller garden is
300 square meters / 60 square meters = 5:1.

Therefore, the ratio of the area of the larger garden to the area of the smaller garden is
5:1

4. the importance and usefulness of ratio and proportion in solving real life
problems.

Answer: Ratios and proportions are important and useful for solving real-life problems
because they

 They can help us to simplify complex problems and make them easier to solve.

 They can help us to identify patterns and relationships between different

quantities.

 They can help us to make predictions and estimates.

 They can help us to communicate our ideas more clearly and concisely.
1. A baker is making a cake recipe that calls for 2 cups of flour for every 3 cups of
milk. If the baker has 4 cups of milk, how many cups of flour does he need?

2. A farmer has a 100-acre field. He wants to plant corn on 60% of the field and
soybeans on the remaining 40%. How many acres of corn will he plant?

3. A recipe calls for 3 cups of flour for every 2 cups of sugar. If you have 6 cups of
sugar, how many cups of flour do you need?

4. the importance and usefulness of ratio and proportion in solving real life
problems.

Answer:
 Cooking: Recipes use ratios to specify the amount of each ingredient
needed.
 Medicine: Doctors use ratios to determine the correct dosage of
medication for patients. Engineering: Engineers use ratios to design and
build structures.
 Finance: Investors use ratios to analyze financial data and make
investment decisions.
 Construction: Construction workers use ratios to mix
concrete, mortar, and other materials.
 Agriculture: Farmers use ratios to determine the amount of fertilizer and
pesticides to apply to crops.
 Transportation: Transportation planners use ratios to design and operate
transportation systems.
 Science: Scientists use ratios in many different ways, such as
determining the concentration of a solution or the density of a substance.
Overall, ratios and proportions are a valuable tool that can be used to solve a wide variety of
real-life problems.
