Question

If 12:x =y:4 =8:16, find the value of x and y?

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 24 and y = 2

Explanation:

it is the ratio given

if we divide 16/8=2

so taking 2 as a ratio

answer are as above

Answer 2

The correct answer is x = 24 and y = 2.

Given: The relation = 12:x =y:4 =8:16.

To Find: Value of a and y.

Solution:

As given in the question.

12:x =y:4 =8:16.

Firstly take 12:x = 8:16.

$\frac{12}{x}=\frac{8}{16}$

$\frac{12}{x}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{2*12}$

x = 24

Then take y:4 =8:16.

$\frac{y}{4}=\frac{8}{16}$

$\frac{y}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

$y=\frac{1}{2}*4$

y = 2

Hence, the value of x is 24 and y is 2.
