Question

If the following ratio is equivalent to 1:6, find the Missing Value

Answer 1

The ratio of apples to lemons is
`((8)/(9))`.

Given that the ratio of apples to oranges is equivalent to 3:2 and the ratio of oranges to lemons is equivalent to 4:3, we need to find the ratio of apples to lemons.

First, we find the ratio of oranges to apples by taking the reciprocal of the given ratios:

2/3 x 3/4 = 2/12

Now, we find the ratio of lemons to apples by taking the reciprocal of the ratio of oranges to apples:

2/12 x 4/3 = 8/9

Therefore, the ratio of apples to lemons is
`((8)/(9))`.

Complete the question:

The ratio of apples to oranges is equivalent to 3:2 and the ratio of oranges to lemons is equivalent to 4:3, we need to find the ratio of apples to lemons.
