Q9 of 26 Page 103

A power-loom is times more powerful than a hand-loom. 12 hand-looms weave 1080 meters length of cloth in 18 days. Let’s work out by the Rule of Three how many power-looms will be required to weave 2700 meters length of cloth in 15 days.

theorem1:-


The Rule of Three is a Mathematical Rule that allows you to solve problems based on proportions. By having three numbers: a, b, c,


(a)Direct proportions rule of 3:-


if ab


c then


(b)inverse proportions rule of 3:-


if ab


c then


formula:- (i)direct method----


(ii)indirect or inverse proportions xy=k



GIVEN:-


method used is called direct proportions method



So number of looms =
