Lesson 01 Tutorial
Ratio Exercise
1. $900 is divided in the ratio of 5:4. How much is the smallest
part?
10. $480 is shared in the ratio 4:5:7. What is the difference between
the largest and smallest parts?
11. A model plane is made in the ratio 1:18. If the length of its
wingspan is 30cm, what is the actual wingspan on the real plane
in metres?
12. A large cake is divided in the ratio 3:5:8. If the weight of the
largest piece is 104g, what is the weight of the smallest piece?
13. A model train is made in the ratio of 2:25. If the actual length of
the real train is 75m, what is the length in cm of the model
train?
14. A tub of ice-cream is divided into two parts the ratio 15:17. What
is the weight of the smaller part, if the larger part weights 102g?
15. Strawberry jam is made by mixing strawberries, sugar and water

Lesson 02
Map Scales
Example
If the length of a house on the map is 2cm, what is its actual length in
metres?
1cm:1000cm
= 1cm: 10 m
2cm on the map represents 2 x 10 = 20m.
1cm:250 000cm
= 1cm: 2 500m
= 1cm: 25km
1cm:10m
a. Road
7 x 25 = 175km
35
= 35 cm on the map

b. River
12 5
= 5cm

Lesson 03
Inverse Proportion
To build a fence, it can take 2 men 5 days. How long will it take one
man?
Solution
1 woman takes 4 x 10 = 40 hours
40
= 5 women.
