Question

If a:b=6:5 and a=24then what is the value of b

Answer 1

a is 24

6 a is 24

a is 4

So b is 5× 4

20 Answer...................

Answer 2

Given: a:b = 6:5

           a = 24

To find : value of b

Solution: As given a= 24

                24 : b = 6 : 5

then,

It is clear according to ratio  that value of 'b' is less than value of  'a'.                        

For determining value of 'b' ,

6 × a = 24

a = 4

Hence, b = 5 × 4

b = 20 .

24 : 20 = 6 : 5 . This satisfies equation. So, answer is correct.
