Question 9.
1 : 3 = 6 : 
Answer: 18
Explanation:
product of extremes = product of means
a:b = c:d
\(\frac{a}{b}\) = \(\frac{c}{d}\)
ad = bc
a = 1, b = 3, c = 6, d = x
1 x x = 3 x 6
x = 18
Question 10.
4 : 7 = : 21
Answer: 12
Explanation:
product of extremes = product of means
a:b = c:d
\(\frac{a}{b}\) = \(\frac{c}{d}\)
ad = bc
a = 4, b = 7, c = x, d = 21
4 x 21 = 7 x x
84 = 7x
x = \(\frac{84}{7}\)
x = 12
Question 11.
25 : 15 = : 3
Answer: 5
Explanation:

a:b = c:d
\(\frac{a}{b}\) = \(\frac{c}{d}\)
ad = bc
a = 54, b = 36, c = 18, d = x
54 x x = 36 x 18
54x = 648
x = \(\frac{648}{54}\)
x = 12
Question 13.
4 : = 20 : 25
Answer: 5
Explanation:
product of extremes = product of means
a:b = c:d
\(\frac{a}{b}\) = \(\frac{c}{d}\)
ad = bc
a = 4, b = x, c = 20, d = 25
4 x 25 = x x 20
100 = 20x
x = \(\frac{100}{20}\)
x = 5
Question 14.
: 9 = 48 : 72
Answer: 6
Explanation:
product of extremes = product of means
a:b = c:d
\(\frac{a}{b}\) = \(\frac{c}{d}\)
ad = bc
a = x, b = 9, c = 48, d = 72
x x 72 = 9 x 48
72x = 432
x = \(\frac{432}{72}\)
x = 6
Question 15.
28 : = 4 : 6
Answer: 42
Explanation:

a:b = c:d
\(\frac{a}{b}\) = \(\frac{c}{d}\)
ad = bc
a = 28, b = x, c = 4, d = 6
28 x 6 = x x 4
168 = 4x
x = \(\frac{168}{4}\)
x = 42
Question 16.
: 36 = 21 : 12
Answer: 63
Explanation:
product of extremes = product of means
a:b = c:d
\(\frac{a}{b}\) = \(\frac{c}{d}\)
ad = bc
a = x, b = 36, c = 21, d = 12
x x 12 = 36 x 21
12x = 756

simplest form of ratio is 1 : 4
Question 19.
On Saturday, Alison used her cell phone for 36 minutes. On Sunday, she used her cell phone for 18 minutes more than on Saturday. Find the ratio of the number of minutes Alison used on Saturday to the total number of minutes on Saturday and Sunday. Give your answer in simplest form.
Answer:
2 : 5
Explanation:
On Saturday 36 min
On Sunday 36 + 18 = 54 min
the number of minutes Alison used on Saturday to the total number of minutes on Saturday and Sunday is
36 + 54 =90 min
the ratio is 36 : 90 = 2 : 5

A sum of money was shared among Aaron, Ben, and Charles in the ratio 2 : 5 : 7. If Charles’s share was $1,180 more than Aaron’s share, what was the original sum of money shared?
Answer:
Explanation:
Aaron, Ben, and Charles in the ratio 2 : 5 : 7
2+5+7= 14
Aaron: 2x
Ben: 5x
Charles:7x
7x = 2x + 1180

14x = 14*236 = $3304
Question 26.
The ratio of the number of beads Karen had to the number of beads Patricia had was 2 : 5. After Patricia bought another 75 beads, the ratio became 4 : 15. How many beads did each girl have at first?
Answer:
36 : 90 beads
Explanation
2:5
2x : 5x
2x : 5x+75 = 4:15
2x X 15 = 4 ( 5x + 75)
30x = 20x + 180
30x-20x = 180
10x=180
x=180/10 = 18
2x:5x
18 x2 : 5×18
36 : 90
Question 27.
Mr. Young had some bottles of apple juice and orange juice. The ratio of the number of bottles of apple juice to the number of bottles of orange juice was 3 : 2. After he sold 64 bottles of apple juice, the ratio became 1 : 6. How many bottles of apple juice and orange juice did Mr. Young have altogether in the end?
Answer:
56 bottles
Explanation:
A : O = 3 : 2

Orange = 2 x 3 = 6 =>6
64/8 = 8
8 x 6 = 48
48 + 8 = 56 bottles left out juice
