Question

If a:b =4:3, find the value of (a+b):(a-b)

Answer 1

Let a=4x and b =3x

(4x+3x):(4x-3x)

7x:1x

7:1


7:1 is your answer

Answer 2

Heya!!!


Here is your answer,

Well as it is given that the ratio of a:b = 4:3

Therefore, to find (a+b)/(a-b)

Thus,

=> a = 4x and b = 3x

=> (a+b) = 7x and (a-b) = x

Therefore,

=> (a+b)/(a-b) = 7x/x

=> (a+b)/(a-b) = 7/1

Therefore,

(a+b):(a-b) = 7:1 (ans)


Hope it helps you,
Thank you.
