Question

find the least integer that must be added to each term of the ratio 30:17 to make it less than 11:7

Answer 1

Answer:

30+x/17+x <_11/7

where x is the which to be added

on solving we get

x=<_23/4 ( by wavy curve method)

we have to find least integer

x<_5.7

so least integer is 5 to make it less than 11/7

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Find the least integer that must be added to each term of the ratio 30:17 to make it less than 11:7

• Given ratio is 30:17
• Assume x to be the least integer to be added to each term.
• So we get 30 + x / 17 + x < 11/7
• Cross multiplying we get
• 210 + 7x < 187 + 11 x
• 210 – 187 < 4x
• Or 23 < 4x
• Now 4(6) = 24 < 23

So we get x = 6
