Question 1: A recipe requires 2 cups of flour for every 3 cups of sugar. If you
use 4 cups of flour, you will need _____ cups of sugar.
Question 2: If 5 notebooks cost 200 pesos, then the cost of 1 notebook is
_____ pesos.
Question 3: The ratio of cats to dogs in a pet shop is 3
Question 4: A car travels 150 kilometers in 2 hours. The speed of the car is
_____ kilometers per hour.
Question 5: If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 2
Question 6: If 8 oranges cost 120 pesos, then the cost of 1 orange is _____
pesos.
Question 7: A map is drawn to a scale of 1
Question 8: If 3 pencils cost 15 pesos, then the cost of 9 pencils is _____
pesos.
Question 9: A car uses 12 liters of fuel to travel 180 kilometers. The fuel
consumption per kilometer is _____ liters.
Question 10: If 4 workers can complete a task in 6 days, then 8 workers can
complete the same task in _____ days.
Answer Key Section:
Question 1: A recipe requires 2 cups of flour for every 3 cups of sugar. If you
use 4 cups of flour, you will need _____ cups of sugar.
Answer: 6
Rationale: To find the amount of sugar needed, set up the proportion
Question 2: If 5 notebooks cost 200 pesos, then the cost of 1 notebook is
_____ pesos.
Answer: 40
Rationale: Divide the total cost by the number of notebooks
Question 3: The ratio of cats to dogs in a pet shop is 3
Answer: 16
Rationale: Set up the proportion 3/4 = 12/x. Cross-multiply to find x = 16.
Learning objective
Question 4: A car travels 150 kilometers in 2 hours. The speed of the car is
_____ kilometers per hour.
Answer: 75
Rationale: Speed = distance/time = 150/2 = 75 km/h. Learning objective
Question 5: If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 2
Answer: 25
Rationale: The ratio parts add up to 5 (2+3). If 2 parts = 10 boys, then 1 part
= 5, and 5 parts = 25 students. Learning objective
Question 6: If 8 oranges cost 120 pesos, then the cost of 1 orange is _____
pesos.
Answer: 15
Rationale: Divide the total cost by the number of oranges
Question 7: A map is drawn to a scale of 1
Answer: 500
Rationale: Multiply the map distance by the scale factor
Question 8: If 3 pencils cost 15 pesos, then the cost of 9 pencils is _____
pesos.
Answer: 45
Rationale: If 3 pencils cost 15 pesos, then 1 pencil costs 5 pesos. Thus, 9
pencils cost 9*5 = 45 pesos. Learning objective
Question 9: A car uses 12 liters of fuel to travel 180 kilometers. The fuel
consumption per kilometer is _____ liters.
Answer: 0.067
Rationale: Divide the total fuel by the distance
Question 10: If 4 workers can complete a task in 6 days, then 8 workers can
complete the same task in _____ days.
Answer: 3
Rationale: If 4 workers take 6 days, doubling the workers halves the time

Topic: Proportion
Questions Section:
Question 1: A proportion states that two ratios are equal.
Question 2: If 3/4 = x/12, then x is equal to 9.
Question 3: A direct proportion means that as one quantity increases, the
other quantity also increases.
Question 4: The statement 5
Question 5: In a proportion, the product of the means is equal to the product
of the extremes.
Question 6: If a recipe calls for 2 cups of flour to make 12 cookies, then to
make 24 cookies, you need 4 cups of flour.
Question 7: Proportions can only be used in real-life situations, not in abstract
mathematics.
Question 8: The cross-multiplication method can be used to solve
proportions.
Question 9: If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3
Question 10: If a car travels 60 kilometers in 1 hour, it will travel 120
kilometers in 2 hours if the speed remains constant.
Answer Key Section:
Question 1: A proportion states that two ratios are equal.
Answer: True
Rationale: Proportions are defined as the equality of two ratios, which is a
fundamental concept in mathematics.
Question 2: If 3/4 = x/12, then x is equal to 9.
Answer: True
Rationale: By cross-multiplying, we find that 3 * 12 = 4 * x, leading to x = 9.
This illustrates the application of proportions.
Question 3: A direct proportion means that as one quantity increases, the
other quantity also increases.
Answer: True
Rationale: In direct proportions, the variables increase or decrease together,
which is an essential concept to understand.
Question 4: The statement 5
Answer: True
Rationale: The two ratios are equivalent, confirming that they form a
proportion.
Question 5: In a proportion, the product of the means is equal to the product
of the extremes.
Answer: True
Rationale: This is known as the cross-multiplication property of proportions,
an important rule in solving proportions.
Question 6: If a recipe calls for 2 cups of flour to make 12 cookies, then to
make 24 cookies, you need 4 cups of flour.
Answer: True
Rationale: This demonstrates the concept of scaling up in proportions, where
the quantities maintain their ratio.
Question 7: Proportions can only be used in real-life situations, not in abstract
mathematics.
Answer: False
Rationale: Proportions are used in both real-life situations and abstract
mathematics, making them versatile in application.
Question 8: The cross-multiplication method can be used to solve
proportions.
Answer: True
Rationale: Cross-multiplication is a standard technique used to find unknown
values in proportions.
Question 9: If the ratio of boys to girls in a class is 3
Answer: False
Rationale: The correct interpretation is that for every 3 boys, there are 4 girls,
not 7. Understanding ratios is key.
Question 10: If a car travels 60 kilometers in 1 hour, it will travel 120
kilometers in 2 hours if the speed remains constant.
Answer: True
Rationale: This scenario illustrates a direct proportion where distance is
proportional to time at a constant speed.
