In this type of proportion, when one quantity is increasing, the other quantity is increasing the other quantity too is increasing and vice versa.
Ex: a) a car covers 60km in 3 hours. How many km will it cover in 5 hours?
b) A man is paid 15000frs for 3 days. How will the man be paid for 5 days if he is working at the same rate?
Solution: a) 3hours = 60
5hours = x
3x = 60 * 5 =300
x = 300 / 3 = 100km. So, the car will cover 100km in 5 hours.
b) 3days = 15000frs
5days = x
x = (15000 * 5) / 3 = 25000frs. So, the man will earn 25000frs in 5 days.
