Question

Complete each statement. 1)You can multiply both quantities in the ratio 2 to 10 by to get the ratio 4 to 20.

Answer 1

The given transformation of ratio is,

`(2)/(10)\rightarrow(4)/(20)`

That is, let x be the factor that was multiplied with the first fraction to get the second one. We can write,

`(2)/(10)* x=(4)/(20)`

Thus, the value of x can be calculated as,

`x=(4)/(20)*(10)/(4)=2`

Thus the answer is,

You can multiply both quantities in the ratio 2 to 10 by 2 to get the ratio 4 to 20.​
