Question

32 : 160 : : 140 : ____ Find the other number??​

Answer 1

Given,

32 : 160 : : 140 : ____

To find,

The missing number.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem using the following process:

Let us assume that the missing number is x.

Mathematically,

If a, b, c, and d are four numbers such that they follow ratio and proportion, then,

a:b::c:d => a/b = c/d

{Statement-1}

Now, according to the question;

32 : 160 : : 140 : x

=> 32/160 = 140/x

=> x = (160×140)/32 = 700

=> x = 700

=> the missing number = 700

=> 32 : 160 : : 140 : 700

Hence, the missing number is 700.
