Question

In the ratio 7:4,the consequent is 24. Find the antecedent.

Answer 1

Answer:

antecedent = 42

Step-by-step explanation:

In the ratio 7:4,the consequent is 24. Find the antecedent.

Here P : Q = 7 : 4

The ratio P:Q can be represented as P/Q.

P is called the antecedent and

Q is called the consequent.

if P = 7  then   =  4

if P = 1  then Q = 4/7

if P = X  then Q= 4X/7

4X/7 = 24

=> X = 42

antecedent = 42
