The length and breadth of a school ground are 150 m and 90 m respectiv

1.	The length and breadth of a school ground are 150 m and 90 m respectively, while the length and breadth of a mela ground are 210 m and 126 m, respectively. Are these measurements in proportion?
Answer» The ratio of length to breadth of school ground = 150 m : 90 m = 150/90 = 5/3 = 5:3 The ratio of length to breadth of mela ground = 210 m : 126 m = 210/126 = 5/3 = 5:3 Hence, both ratios are equal. ∴ The given measurements are in proportion.

Answer»

The ratio of length to breadth of school ground = 150 m : 90 m = 150/90 = 5/3 = 5:3

The ratio of length to breadth of mela ground = 210 m : 126 m = 210/126 = 5/3 = 5:3

Hence, both ratios are equal.

∴ The given measurements are in proportion.
