Answer 1

Answer is 900.

Explanation:

To find:

Increase #500 in the ratio 16:10

Solution:

New Number: Old Number = 16:10

We are given the old number as 500.

Let the new number after increase =
`x`

Now, using the above ratio:

`x`: 500 = 16:10

`(x)/(500) = (16)/(10)\\\Rightarrow x = 500 * (16)/(10)\\\Rightarrow x = 50 * 16\\\Rightarrow x = 900`

Therefore, the increased value of 500 in the ration 16:10 is 900.
