1. Problem: Find the cost of 10 kg of tea leaves when 3 kg cost 18.
Formula: Cost is directly proportional to weight, so $\frac{Cost_1}{Weight_1} = \frac{Cost_2}{Weight_2}$.
Calculation:
$\frac{18}{3} = \frac{x}{10} \Rightarrow x = \frac{18 \times 10}{3} = 60$
Answer: Cost of 10 kg tea leaves is 60.
2. Problem: A student reads 6 pages in 10 minutes. How many pages in 30 minutes?
Formula: Pages read is proportional to time, $\frac{Pages_1}{Time_1} = \frac{Pages_2}{Time_2}$.
Calculation:
$\frac{6}{10} = \frac{x}{30} \Rightarrow x = \frac{6 \times 30}{10} = 18$
Answer: Student reads 18 pages in 30 minutes.
3. Problem: Football team scored 10 goals in 4 games. How many in 18 more games?
Formula: Goals per game is constant, so $\frac{10}{4} = \frac{x}{18}$.
Calculation:
$x = \frac{10 \times 18}{4} = 45$
Answer: Team scores 45 goals in 18 games.
4. Problem: 2 cups flour make 12 biscuits. How much for 30 biscuits?
Formula: Flour is proportional to biscuits, $\frac{2}{12} = \frac{x}{30}$.
Calculation:
$x = \frac{2 \times 30}{12} = 5$
Answer: 5 cups of flour needed.
5. Problem: Upload 8 photos in 7.2 minutes. Time for 20 photos?
Formula: Time proportional to photos, $\frac{7.2}{8} = \frac{x}{20}$.
Calculation:
$x = \frac{7.2 \times 20}{8} = 18$
Answer: 18 minutes to upload 20 photos.
6. Problem: Jamil works 36 hours for 172800. Time to earn (i) 96000 (ii) 288000?
Rate per hour = $\frac{172800}{36} = 4800$.
(i) Time = $\frac{96000}{4800} = 20$ hours.
(ii) Time = $\frac{288000}{4800} = 60$ hours.
Answer: (i) 20 hours, (ii) 60 hours.
7. Problem: Sarah has 42 CDs weighing 2436 g.
(i) Mass of 28 CDs = $\frac{2436}{42} \times 28 = 1624$ g.
(ii) Ratio CD to case = 15:43, total mass = 15 + 43 = 58 units.
Mass of one CD = $\frac{15}{58} \times \frac{2436}{42} = 15$ g (approx).
Answer: (i) 1624 g, (ii) 15 g per CD.
8. Problem: Expenses $E$ proportional to guests $N$. For 30 guests, $E=210$. Find $E$ for 80 guests.
Formula: $\frac{210}{30} = \frac{x}{80}$.
Calculation:
$x = \frac{210 \times 80}{30} = 560$
Answer: Expenses for 80 guests is 560.
9. Problem: Complete tables with direct proportion.
(i) $x:1,3,7$; $y:9,?,45$
$\frac{y}{x} = k$ constant.
$k = \frac{9}{1} = 9$
For $x=3$, $y=3 \times 9=27$.
(ii) $M:10,20,50$; $E:5,?,40$
$k = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5$
For $M=20$, $E=20 \times 0.5=10$.
Answer: (i) $y=27$ for $x=3$; (ii) $E=10$ for $M=20$.
10. Problem: Zeb works 36 hours for 17280. Time to earn (i) 96000 (ii) 28800?
Rate per hour = $\frac{17280}{36} = 480$.
(i) Time = $\frac{96000}{480} = 200$ hours.
(ii) Time = $\frac{28800}{480} = 60$ hours.
Answer: (i) 200 hours, (ii) 60 hours.
