Complete each statement. 1)You can multiply both quantities in the ratio 2 to 10 by to get the ratio 4 to 20.

Sagot :

The given transformation of ratio is,

[tex]\frac{2}{10}\rightarrow\frac{4}{20}[/tex]

That is, let x be the factor that was multiplied with the first fraction to get the second one. We can write,

[tex]\frac{2}{10}\times x=\frac{4}{20}[/tex]

Thus, the value of x can be calculated as,

[tex]x=\frac{4}{20}\times\frac{10}{4}=2[/tex]

Thus the answer is,

You can multiply both quantities in the ratio 2 to 10 by 2 to get the ratio 4 to 20.
