Question

Bonus problem. Find the ratio a :b if it is given that 3a=8b​

Answer 1

`a:b = 8:3`

Explanation:

To find the ration, we want to get in equation in the form
`(a)/(b) =(x)/(y)`.

We can start by dividing by b on both sides:

3a = 8b

÷b ÷b

`(3a)/(b) = 8`

Now, we can divide by 3 on both sides to get:

`(a)/(b) = (8)/(3)`

We can change the format into a ratio:

`a:b = 8:3`
