Question

Increase R245 in the ratio 5:6.
​

Answer 1

To increase R245 in the ratio 5:6, you can add an amount proportional to the ratio 5:6 to R245.

Let's say you want to increase R245 by x.

The new value for 5 parts will be 5x + 245, and the new value for 6 parts will be 6x + 245.

So, the new ratio would be (5x + 245) : (6x + 245), which is still 5:6.

Therefore, to increase R245 in the ratio 5:6, you would add x to R245.
