Q12 of 26 Page 103

36 heads of people of a certain village can construct 12- metres of raod working 6 hours daily in 12 days. Another 6 heads of people are involved in this work and the duration of work of each day is increased by 2 hours. Let’s work out using the method of the Rule of Three the length of road to be constructed in 9 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 indirect or inverse proportions method



m1=12, m2=? ,p1=36,p2=42,h1=6,h2=8,d1=12,d2=9




m2 =14 m
