1)  

Haritha office recycled a total of 40 kilograms of paper over 5 weeks. After 10 weeks, how many kilograms of paper will Haritha office have recycled Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

  Answer: 80 kilograms


SOLUTION 1 :

Find the cross products and solve for J

 
 J
5
 = 
 
40
20
  

 

Find the cross products

10J = 40 x 10 

Simplify

5J = 400  

Divide both sides by 5

J = 80 

 



2)  

Ovini jarred 30 litres of jam after 5 days. How much jam did Ovini jar if he spent 10 days making jam Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

  Answer: 60 litres


SOLUTION 1 :

Find the cross products and solve for V

 
 V
5
 = 
 
30
15
  

 

Find the cross products

10V = 30 x 10 

Simplify

5V = 300  

Divide both sides by 5

V = 60 

 If Ovini spent 10 days making jam, he jarred 60 litres.



3)  

Chithra took a total of 40 quizzes over the course of 5 weeks. After attending 10 weeks of school this quarter, how many quizzes will Chithra have taken in total Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

  Answer: 80 quizzes


SOLUTION 1 :

Find the cross products and solve for W

 
 W
5
 = 
 
40
20
  

 

Find the cross products

10W = 40 x 10 

Simplify

5W = 400  

Divide both sides by 5

W = 80 

After attending 10 weeks of school this quarter, Chithra will have taken a total of 80 quizzes.



4)  

Chellamal used 16 centimetres of tape to wrap 4 presents. How many presents did Chellamal wrap if he used 8 centimetres of tape Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

  Answer: 32 presents


SOLUTION 1 :

Find the cross products and solve for F

 
 F
4
 = 
 
16
8
  

 

Find the cross products

8F = 16 x 8 

Simplify

4F = 128  

Divide both sides by 4

F = 32 

If Chellamal used 8 centimetres of tape, he must have wrapped 32 presents.



5)

 N
3
 = 
 
24
12
  

 

Find the cross products

6N = 24 x 6 

Simplify

3N = 144  

Divide both sides by 3

N = 48 

After attending 6 weeks of school this quarter, Savithri will have taken a total of 48 quizzes.



8)  

Amutha used 40 centimetres of tape to wrap 4 presents. How many presents did Amutha wrap if he used 8 centimetres of tape Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

  Answer: 80 presents


SOLUTION 1 :

Find the cross products and solve for O

 
 O
4
 = 
 
40
20
  

 

Find the cross products

8O = 40 x 8 

Simplify

4O = 320  

Divide both sides by 4

O = 80 

If Amutha used 8 centimetres of tape, he must have wrapped 80 presents.



9)  

Pavi office recycled a total of 48 kilograms of paper over 6 weeks. After 12 weeks, how many kilograms of paper will Pavi office have recycled Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

  Answer: 96 kilograms


SOLUTION 1 :

Find the cross products and solve for M

 
 M
6
 = 
 
48
24
  

 

Find the cross products

12M = 48 x 12 

Simplify

6M = 576  

Divide both sides by 6

M = 96 

 



10)  

Tulasi jarred 32 litres of jam after 4 days. How much jam did Tulasi jar if he spent 8 days making jam Assume the relationship is directly proportional.

  Answer: 64 litres


SOLUTION 1 :

Find the cross products and solve for Q

 
 Q
4
 = 
 
32
16
  

 

Find the cross products

8Q = 32 x 8 

Simplify

4Q = 256  

Divide both sides by 4

Q = 64 

 If Tulasi spent 8 days making jam, he jarred 64 litres.
