Question

Two numbers are in the ratio 4:3

One of the numbers is 1.8
What are the two possible values for the other number?
​

Answer 1

6 and 32/3

Explanation:

4:3 You should be able to recognize that 8 is a multiple of 4

4x2:3x2 = 8:6

so 6 is on of the possibilities.

Second one:

You have to find a number that when you multiply 3 is becomes 8

3x=8

so x=
`(8)/(3)`

4x
`(8)/(3 )` : 3x
`(8)/(3)`

32/3 : 8

so the answer for the second is 32/3
