Answer 1

Given:

For a ratio 2 : 3, if the antecedent is 112, then the consequent will be ​

Solution:

In the ratio of 2 : 3, 2 and 3 are called terms of the ratio, 2 is called the antecedent, and 3 is called the consequent.

2 : 3

antecedent is 112 , let the consequent will be x

$=> \dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{112}{x}$

=> cross multiplication

=> 2x = 112 * 3

=> 2x = 336

=> x = 336/2

=> x = 168

Hence, the required answer is 168
