Question

3

If a is 63% of x and c is
8
the closest equivalent of the ratio of a to c?
ã of x, which of the following is
O
С C
E

Answer 1

The closest equivalent of the ratio a to c is 1.68

Using the parameters given ;

• a = 63% of x
• c = 3/8 of x

Simplifying further ;

a = 0.63x

c = 0.375x

The ratio of a to c , written as ;

a/c = 0.63x / 0.375x

Take the division

a/c = 0.168

Hence, the closest equivalent of the ratio is 1.68

Answer 2

The closest equivalent of the ratio of a to c will be:

a/c=1.680

Explanation:

As 'a' is 63% of x

so

`a=0.63x`

As 'c' is 3/8 of x

so

c=3/8

Thus, the closest equivalent of the ratio of a to c will be:

a/c = (0.63x)/(3/8x)

= 1.680

Therefore, the closest equivalent of the ratio of a to c will be:

a/c=1.680
