Question

For a ratio 5:8 the antecedent is 40 then determine the value of consequent

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

which is the required ans.

Answer 2

Concept:

In a ratio, antecedent is the first term while consequent is the second term of the ratio. The division or fraction of the first quantity of the fraction to the  second quantity of the fraction is called ratio.

Given:

the ratio is given to be 5:8

the antecedent is given to be 40

Find:

We are required to find the consequent term of the ratio.

Solution:

Firstly, we need to bring the antecedent and consequent multiplied by same factor

Factor by which antecedent is multiplied= 40/5=8

Therefore, we must multiply the second term of ratio by the same factor

therefore, consequent= 8 x 8 =64

Hence the consequent is 64
