Frequently Asked Questions

Simple proportion involves only two quantities (like Price and Quantity). Compound proportion involves three or more quantities (like Men, Days, and Length of a road).

Remember the rule: Work done is always the "result" and goes in the denominator. Everything else (Men, Days, Hours, Efficiency) goes in the numerator because they are the "resources" used to produce that result.

Yes. For a fixed amount of work, Hours per day and Total Days are in inverse proportion. If you work more hours each day, you will finish the job in fewer days.

Yes, but it takes many more steps. You would first find how much work 1 man does in 1 day, and then multiply/divide accordingly. The formula method is much faster and less prone to errors.

2.0Key Concepts of Chapter 7 Proportional Reasoning 1 Exercise 7.3

  • Compound Proportion: A situation where a variable depends on the product or ratio of two or more other variables.
  • The Man-Day-Hour Formula: A standard tool for work problems:

W1​M1​D1​H1​​=W2​M2​D2​H2​​
(Where M = Men, D = Days, H = Hours, and W = Work).

  • Combined Variation: Understanding that work done is directly proportional to the number of workers and time, but time is inversely proportional to the number of workers for a fixed amount of work.
