Question

Find the number that makes the ratio equivalent to 4:9. 32:

Answer 1

72

Explanation:

First, divide 32 by 4 to see how many times larger the numbers in the second ratio are than in the first ratio. 32/4=8 This means that the numbers in the second ratio are 8 times larger than in the first

Then, since the second ratio’s numbers are 8 times bigger than those of the first ratio, you can multiply both numbers in the first ratio by 8. The problem already multiplied 4 by 8 for us, which is 32, so all we have to do now is multiply 9 by 8. 9*8=72, which means that 4:9 is equivalent to 32:72
