Question 1 of 5
Ratio and Proportion: 3:5 :: X:10
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To solve the proportion, set up (3/5) = (X/10). Cross-multiply to get 3 � 10 = 5X, leading to X = 6. This means that the correct choice is B, as X is equal to 6 to maintain the same ratio as 3:5 in the original proportion.
Question 2 of 5
Convert 3/5 to a decimal.
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To convert a fraction to a decimal, you divide the numerator by the denominator. In this case, 3 � 5 = 0.6. Therefore, the correct answer is B) 0.6.
Question 3 of 5
Convert 0.60 to a ratio in simplest form.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: To convert 0.60 to a ratio, start by expressing it as a fraction: 0.60 = 60/100. Then simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 20 in this case. Dividing 60 by 20 gives 3, and dividing 100 by 20 gives 5. Therefore, the simplified fraction is 3/5, which translates to the ratio 3:5 in simplest form.
Question 4 of 5
Ratio and Proportion: 100:2 :: 60:X
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: To solve for X, set up the proportion: (100/2) = (60/X). Cross-multiply to get 100X = 120. Divide by 100 to isolate X, giving X = 1.2. Therefore, X = 1.6.
Question 5 of 5
In the ratio 0.6 : X :: 7 : 42, what is X?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: To find the value of X in the given ratio, set up the proportion: (0.6/X) = (7/42). Simplifying this, we get (0.6/X) = (1/6). Cross multiplying gives 0.6 * 6 = X, which results in X = 3.6. Therefore, the correct answer is 3.6, representing the value of X in the given ratio.
