Question

23 is to 18 as 54 is to​

Answer 1

Given: 23 is to 18 as 54 is to​

To find: The final ratio of the given term.

Solution:

• Now we have given 23 is to 18 as 54 is to​ .

• Let the fourth term be x.

• In numerical form it can be written as:

               23 : 18 :: 54 : x

• So , we have:

               28/18 = 54/x

• Now solving by cross multiplication, we get:

               x = 54 x 18 / 28

               x = 27 x 18 / 14

               x = 27 x 9 / 7

               x = 243 / 7

• So the value of x is 243/7

• The ratio will be:

               28/18 = 54/x

               28/18 = 54/243/7

               28/18 = 54x7/243

               28/18 = 54x7/243

               28/18 = 378/243

• So the ratio is:

               28 : 18 :: 378 : 243

Answer:

             So the final ratio is 28 : 18 :: 378 : 243
