Answer 1

Answer:

We have,

If ratio is ba

a is called antecedent and b is called consequent.

Here,

127=144a

a=12144×7

b=84

Answer 2

To find the antecedent in a ratio, you can use the formula: antecedent = (consequent * ratio denominator) / ratio numerator.

In this case, the ratio is 7:9 and the consequent is 117, so the formula becomes: antecedent = (117 * 9) / 7.

By performing the calculation, we get: antecedent = 141.

Therefore, the antecedent in the ratio 7:9 with a consequent of 117 is 141.
