Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
? a / b = 2/3 and 2 / a = 1/2
? a/b x 2/a = 2/3 x 1/2
? 2/b = 1/3
? b = 6
Correct Answer: 3 : 20
Explanation:
0.6 x a = 0.09 x b
? a/b = 0.09 / 0.06 = 9 / 60 = 3 / 20 = 3 : 20
Correct Answer: 3 : 8
Explanation:
Let a/3 = b/8 = K
Then, a = 3K, b = 8K
? (a + 3) / (b + 8) = (3K + 3) / (8K + 8)
= [3( K + 1)] / [8(K+1)] = 3/8
? ( a + 3 ) : (b + 8) = 3 : 8
