Question

If 2 : 3 and 4 : ___ are equivalent ratios, then the missing term is
(a) 6 (b) 2 (c) 4 (d) 3

Answer 1

If 2 : 3 and 4 : _ are equivalent ratios, then the missing term is "6"

Answer 2

If 2 : 3 and 4 : ___ are equivalent ratios, then the missing term is  (a) 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given 2:3 and 4: .........  are equivalent ratio

To equate to 4 in the numerator we multiply numerator 2 with 2.

If we multiply by 2 in both Numerator and denominator we get

   $\dfrac{2}{3} =\dfrac{2\times2}{2\times3} =\dfrac{4}{6}$

so 2:3 and 4:6 are equivalent ratios.

 so missing term is (a) 6
