Question

17. If 50% of A is the same as 25% of B, then A:B is :
O 2:1
O 1:2
O 1:3
o 1:1

Answer 1

Answer:

1:2

Step-by-step explanation:

50% A is equal to 25% A

means

0.50A=0.25B

multipling by 4 on both sides

2A = B

therefore A:B = 1:2

Answer 2

Given,

50% of A is the same as 25% of B

To Find,

A:B =?

Solution,

According to the question,

50% of A = 25% of B

(50 / 100) * A =  (25 / 100)*B

(1 / 2)A  = (1 / 4)B

A / B = (1 / 4) * (2 / 1)

A / B = 1 / 2

A:B = 1:2

Hence, if 50% of A is the same as 25% of B, then A:B is 1:2
