What is the compounded ratio of $(a - b) : (a + b), (a - b)^{2} : (a + b)^{2}$ and $(a + b)^{3} : (a - b)^{3}$

  1. $8 : 9$

  2. $5 : 7$

  3. $1 : 1$

  4. $3 : 5$

C Correct answer
Explanation

By the defination of compound ratio these ratio can be expressed as
$\dfrac {a - b}{a + b}\times \dfrac {(a - b)^{2}}{(a + b)^{2}} \times \dfrac {(a + b)^{3}}{(a - b)^{3}} = \dfrac {1}{1}$
Hence, $1 : 1$.

The triplicate ratio of $\sqrt [3]{9} : \sqrt {8}$ is ____

  1. $9 : 16$

  2. $9 : 16\sqrt {2}$

  3. $9 : 8$

  4. $3 : 2$

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

$\sqrt [3]{9} : \sqrt {8} = (9)^{\dfrac {1}{3}} : (8)^{\dfrac {1}{2}}$
The triplicate ratio of $a : b$ is $a^{3} : b^{3}$
$\therefore$ The triplicate ratio of $\sqrt [3]{9} : \sqrt {8}$ is $[(9)^{\dfrac {1}{3}}]^{3} : [(8)^{\dfrac {1}{2}}]^{3}$
$= 9 : (2\sqrt {2})^{3}$
$= 9 : 8(\sqrt {2})^{3}$
$= 9 : 16\sqrt {2}$.

The sub-duplicate ratio of $9a^{2}b^{2} : 16r^{2} s^{2}$ is _____

  1. $3a : 4r$

  2. $4ab : 3rs$

  3. $3ab : 4rs$

  4. $3b : 4s$

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The sub-duplicate ratio of $x : y$ is $\sqrt {x} : \sqrt {y}$
$\therefore$ The subduplicate ratio of $9a^{2}b^{2} : 16r^{2}s^{2}$ is $\sqrt {9a^{2}b^{2}} : \sqrt {16r^{2}s^{2}}$
$= 3ab : 4rs$

The sub-duplicate ratio of $\dfrac {1}{25} : \dfrac {1}{64}$ is _____

  1. $\dfrac {1}{5} : \dfrac {1}{8}$

  2. $5 : 4$

  3. $\dfrac {1}{125} : \dfrac {1}{252}$

  4. $1 : 1$

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The subduplicate ratio of $a : b$ is $\sqrt {a} : \sqrt {b}$
$\therefore$ The subduplicate ratio of $\dfrac {1}{25} : \dfrac {1}{64}$ is $\sqrt {\dfrac {1}{25}} : \sqrt {\dfrac {1}{64}} = \dfrac {1}{5} : \dfrac {1}{8}$

The triplicate ratio of $\sqrt [3]{b^{2}} : \sqrt [3]{a^{2}}$ is _____

  1. $b^{2} : a^{2}$

  2. $a : b$

  3. $b^{3} : a^{3}$

  4. $a^{2} : b^{2}$

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The triplicate ratio of $a : b$ is $a^{3} : b^{3}$
$\therefore$ The triplicate ratio of $\sqrt [3]{b^{2}} : \sqrt [3]{a^{2}}$ is $(\sqrt [3]{b^{2}})^{3} : (\sqrt [3]{a^{2}})^{3} = b^{2} : a^{2}$.
