Question

If the ratio of m to n is 7 to 6, which of the following could be true?

O A. m = 8, n = 7
O B. m = 12,n= 14
O c.m=14, n=0
OD. m = 42, n = 42
O E. m = 7/3, n = 2​

Answer 1

E. m = 7/3, n = 2

Explanation:

The correct answer

Answer 2

E

Explanation:

Consider each of the given values for m and n

A

m : n = 8 : 7 ≠ 7 : 6

B

m : n = 12 : 14 = 6 : 7 ≠ 7 : 6

C

m : n = 14 : 0 ≠ 7 : 6

D

m : n = 42 : 42 = 1 : 1 ≠ 7 : 6

E

m : n =
`(7)/(3)` : 2 =
`(7)/(3)` :
`(6)/(3)` = 7 : 6

Thus E is the only true ratio
