Part 4 (Word problems - mixed criterions)

1) The ratio of size between a small bottle and a large bottle is 2:3. Given that the
total capacity of the two bottles is 10 litres, show that the capacity of the small
bottle is 4 litres and the capacity of the large bottle is 6 litres.

Small bottle: Large bottle

Ratio 2:3
Total capacity = 10 litres
Small bottle can hold 4 litres
Large bottle can hold 6 litres

2) The ratio of the area between a small square of land and a large square of land
is 3 : 7.Given that the total area of the two squares of land is 4,000 m2, find the
area of each square of land.

Small sq : large sq
= 3:7
Total metre sq = 4000
Small square = 1200 m sq
Large square = 2800 m sq
