Balbharti Maharashtra State Board Class 6 Maths Solutions covers the Std 6 Maths Chapter 11 Ratio-Proportion Class 6 Practice Set 28 Answers Solutions.

6th Standard Maths Practice Set 28 Answers Chapter 11 Ratio-Proportion

6th Standard Maths Practice Set 28 Question 1.
In each example below, find the ratio of the first number to the second:
i. 24, 56
ii. 63,49
iii. 52, 65
iv. 84, 60
v. 35, 65
vi. 121, 99
Solution:
i. 24, 56
\(\frac{24}{56}=\frac{24 \div 8}{56 \div 8}=\frac{3}{7}\)
= 3:7

ii. 63,49
\(\frac{63}{49}=\frac{63 \div 7}{49 \div 7}=\frac{9}{7}\)
= 9:7

iii. 52, 65
\(\frac{52}{65}=\frac{52 \div 13}{65 \div 13}=\frac{4}{5}\)
= 4:5

iv. 84, 60
\(\frac{84}{60}=\frac{84 \div 12}{60 \div 12}=\frac{7}{5}\)
= 7:5

v. 35, 65
\(\frac{35}{65}=\frac{35 \div 5}{65 \div 5}=\frac{7}{13}\)
= 7:13

vi. 121, 99
\(\frac{121}{99}=\frac{121 \div 11}{99 \div 11}=\frac{11}{9}\)
= 11:9

6th Maths Practice Set 28 Question 2.
Find the ratio of the first quantity to the second.

v. 99 kg, 44000 grams
vi. 1 litre, 250 ml
vii. 60 paise, 1 rupee
viii. 750 grams, \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) kg
ix. 125 cm, 1 metre
Solution:
i. Required Ratio = \(\frac{25}{40}=\frac{25 \div 5}{40 \div 5}=\frac{5}{8}\)

ii. Required Ratio = \(\frac{40}{120}=\frac{40 \div 40}{120 \div 40}=\frac{1}{3}\)

iii. 1 hour = 60 minutes
Required Ratio = \(\frac{15}{60}=\frac{15 \div 15}{60 \div 15}=\frac{1}{4}\)

iv. Required Ratio = \(\frac{30}{24}=\frac{30 \div 6}{24 \div 6}=\frac{5}{4}\)

v. 99 kg = 99 x 1000 grams = 99000 grams
Required Ratio = \(\frac{99000}{44000}=\frac{99000 \div 1000}{44000 \div 1000}=\frac{99}{44}\)
= \(\frac{99}{44}=\frac{99 \div 11}{44 \div 11}=\frac{9}{4}\)

vi. 1 litre, 250 ml
1 litre = 1000 ml
Required Ratio = \(\frac{1000}{250}=\frac{1000 \div 10}{250 \div 10}=\frac{100}{25}\)
= \(\frac{100}{25}=\frac{100 \div 25}{25 \div 25}=\frac{4}{1}\)

viii. 750 grams, \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) kg
\(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) kg = \(\frac { 1000 }{ 2 }\) grams = 500 grams
Required Ratio = \(\frac{750}{500}=\frac{750 \div 10}{500 \div 10}=\frac{75}{50}\)
= \(\frac{75}{50}=\frac{75 \div 25}{50 \div 25}=\frac{3}{2}\)

ix. 125 cm, 1 metre
1 metre = 100 cm
Required Ratio = \(\frac{125}{100}=\frac{125 \div 25}{100 \div 25}=\frac{5}{4}\)

Practice Set 28 Question 4.
30 cricket players and 20 kho-kho players are training on a field. What is the ratio of cricket players to the total number of players?
Solution:
Total number of players = Cricket players + Kho-kho players
= 30 + 20 = 50
Ratio of cricket players to the total number of players
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Ratio-Proportion Practice Set 28 2
∴ The ratio of cricket players to the total number of players is \(\frac { 3 }{ 5 }\).

Question 5.
Snehal has a red ribbon that is 80 cm long and a blue ribbon 2.20 m long. What is the ratio of the length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon?
Solution:
1 metre =100 cm
Length of the red ribbon = 80 cm
Length of the blue ribbon = 2.20 m = 2.20 x 100 cm
\(=\frac{220}{100} \times \frac{100}{1}=\frac{220 \times 100}{100 \times 1}\)
= 220 cm
∴ Ratio of length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Ratio-Proportion Practice Set 28 3
∴ The ratio of the length of the red ribbon to that of the blue ribbon is \(\frac { 4 }{ 11 }\).

11 Ratio Question 6.
Shubham’s age today is 12 years and his father’s is 42 years. Shubham’s mother is younger than his father by 6 years. Find the following ratios.
i. Ratio of Shubham’s age today to his mother’s age today.
ii. Ratio of Shubham’s mother’s age today to his father’s age today.
iii. The ratio of Shubham’s age to his mother’s age when Shubham was 10 years old.
Solution:
Shubham’s age today = 12 years
Shubham’s father’s age = 42 years
Shubham’s mother age = Shubham’s father’s age – 6 years
= 42 years – 6 years = 36 years

i. Ratio of Shubham’s age today to his mother’s age today
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Ratio-Proportion Practice Set 28 4
∴ The ratio of Shubham’s age today to his mother’s age today is \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\).

ii. Ratio of Shubham’s mother age today to his father’s age today
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Ratio-Proportion Practice Set 28 5
∴ The ratio of Shubham’s mother’s age today to his father’s age today is \(\frac { 6 }{ 7 }\).

iii. Shubham’s age today is 12 years and his mothers age is 36 years.
Hence when Shubham’s age was 10 years, his mother’s age was 34 years (i.e. 36 – 2 years).
Ratio of Shubham’s age to his mother’s age when Shubham was 10 years old
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 11 Ratio-Proportion Practice Set 28 6
∴ The ratio of Shubham’s age to his mother’s age when Shubham was 10 years old is \(\frac { 5 }{ 17 }\)

= 125 + 24
= 149

ii. (13 x 4) = 2 – 26
= 52 ÷ 2 – 26
= 26 – 26
= 0

iii. 140 ÷ [(-11) x (-3) – (-42) ÷ 14 – 1)]
= 140 ÷ [33 + 42 ÷ 14 – 1]
= 140 ÷ [33 + 3 – 1]
= 140 ÷ 35
= 4

iv. {(220 – 140) + [10 x 9 + (-2 x 5) ]} – 100
= {80 + [90 – 10]} – 100

Question 1.
Without using division, can we tell from the denominator of a fraction, whether the decimal form of the fraction will be a terminating decimal? Find out. (Textbook pg. no. 40)
Solution:
If the prime factorization of the denominator of a fraction has only factors as 2 or 5 or a combination of 2 and 5 then the decimal form of that fractional will be a terminating decimal form.
Consider the fractions \(\frac { 17 }{ 20 }\) and \(\frac { 19 }{ 6 }\)
Now, 20 = 2 x 2 x 5, and 6 = 2 x 3
∴ \(\frac { 17 }{ 20 }\) is terminating decimal form while \(\frac { 19 }{ 6 }\) is recurring decimal form.

Question 1.
When constructing a building, what is the method used to make sure that a wall is exactly upright? What does the mason in the picture have in his hand? What do you think is his purpose for using it? (Textbook pg. no. 87)
Maharashtra Board Class 6 Maths Solutions Chapter 17 Geometrical Constructions Practice Set 39 8
Solution:
When constructing a building, a weight (usually with a pointed tip at the bottom) suspended from a string called as plummet or plump bob is aligned from the top of the wall to make sure that the wall is built exactly upright.
The mason in the picture is holding a plumb bob.
The string of the plumb bob is suspended from the top of the wall, such that plumb bob hangs freely. By observing whether the vertical wall is parallel to the string we can check if the constructed wall is vertical.

Question 2.
Have you looked at lamp posts on the roadside? How do they stand? (Textbook pg. no. 87)
Solution:
The lamp posts on the road side are standing erect or vertical.

Question 3.
For the above explained construction, why must we take a distance greater than half of the length of AB? What will happen if we take a smaller distance? (Textbook pg. no. 88)
Solution:
For the above construction, in step-3 we take distance greater than half of the length of AB, so that the arcs drawn by keeping the compass on points A and B intersect each other at point Q.
If the distance in compass is less than half of the length of AB, then the arcs drawn by keeping the compass at A and B will not intersect each other.
