Ratio and Proportion Class 6 Extra Questions


CBSE Notes for Ratio and Proportion Class 6 Extra Questions

  • For comparing quantities of the same type, we commonly use the method of taking difference between the quantities.
  • In many situations, a more meaningful comparison between quantities is made by using division, i.e. by seeing how many times one quantity is to the other quantity. This method is known as comparison by ratio. For example, Isha’s weight is 25 kg and her father’s weight is 75 kg. We say that Isha’s father’s weight and Isha’s weight are in the ratio 3 : 1.
  • For comparison by ratio, the two quantities must be in the same unit. If they are not, they should be expressed in the same unit before the ratio is taken.
  • The same ratio may occur in different situations.
  • Note that the ratio 3: 2 is different from 2 : 3. Thus, the order in which quantities are taken to express their ratio is important. Please refer Ratio and Proportion Class 6 Extra Questions for more information.
