QUESTION :-
If the number is added to the ratio 7:15, the ratio becomes 7:11. Then find the number.
SOLUTION:-
let, the number be r,
.°. the number is added to the ratio 7:15 ( given)
.°. add r in this ratio, so
r + 7 / r + 15 = 7 /11
HERE APPLY CROSS MULTIPLICATION.
7(r +7) = 11(r +15)
7r +49 = 11r + 165
.°. 7r - 11r = 49 - 165
.°. - 4r = - 116
.°. r = 29
SO, THE NUMBER IS 29.
