Question

A ratio is equal to 2:5 if its antecedent is 17 what is its consequent

Answer 1

Answer:

42.5

Step by step explanation:

Let consequent be x,

Using cross multiplication,

2/5 = 17/x

2x = 17×5

2x = 85

x = 85/2

x = 42.5

Hence Solved!

Answer 2

Answer:

• 42.5

Explanation:

Given

• Ratio = 2 : 5
• Antecedent = 17

To find

• Consequent

Solution

Let the consequent be x, then ATP,

• 2 : 5 = 17 : x

Product of means = Product of extremes

• 2x = 5 × 17
• 2x = 85
• x = 85/2
• x = 42.5

Hence, the value of x/consequent is 42.5.
