Question

The ratio of 1.4 to 32 is the same as the ratio of 2.8 to

Answer 1

We are told that the ratio of 1.4 to 32 is the same as the ratio of 2.8 to a value that we are going to all x. Then we can formulate the following expression:

ratio 1 = ratio 2

Where ratio 1 is the ratio of 1.4 to 32 and ratio 2 is the ratio of 2.8 to x. the ratio 1 can be expressed like this:

ratio 1 = 1.4/32

And the ratio 2 can be expressed like this:

ratio 2 = 2.8/x

Then, we get:

`(1.4)/(32)=(2.8)/(x)`

From this expression, we can solve for x to get:

`\begin{gathered} (1.4)/(32)=(2.8)/(x) \\ (1.4)/(32)x=2.8 \\ (x)/(32)=(2.8)/(1.4) \\ x=(2.8)/(1.4)32 \\ x=2*32 \\ x=64 \end{gathered}`

Then, the ratio of 1.4 to 32 is the same as the ratio of 2.8 to 64
