Example 1 (Page 63) If 5 workers can move 4500 bricks in a day, how many workers are needed to move 18000 bricks in a day?Given that, 5 workers can move 4,500 bricks in a day We need to find how many workers are needed to move 18,000 bricks a day Let Required Number of workers be x Now, we draw a table Now, as Number of workers increases, Number of bricks to be moved also increases So, they are in Direct proportion So, we write numbers as ๐_๐/๐_๐ = ๐_๐/๐_๐ 5/4500=๐ฅ/18000 (๐ ร ๐๐๐๐๐)/๐๐๐๐=๐ 20 = ๐ฅ ๐ = 20 So, it will take 20 workers
