Question

if x/5=y/8 then (x+5):(y+8) is equal to

Answer 1

I hope this will be write...

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that $\frac{x}{5}=\frac{y}{8}$

⇒$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{5k}{8k}$

therefore, $x=5k$ and $y=8k$

Now, $\frac{x+5}{y+8}=\frac{5k+5}{8k+8}=\frac{5(k+1)}{8(k+1)}=\frac{5}{8}$

Therefore, $(x+5):(y+8)=5:8$.
