Question

Write the equivalent ratio
11:4= __:16

Answer 1

the missing value is 44

Explanation:

let the missing value be x

we can solve this by expressing both ratios as rational expressions

11:4 = x:16

`(11)/(4) = (x)/(16)` (cross multiply the denominators to eliminate them)

(11)(16) = (4)(x)

4x = 176

x = 176 / 4

x = 44

hence the ration is

11:4 = 44 : 16
