Question

Ratio between two numbers is 6:5.First number is 150,find the second number?

Answer 1

$\sf\underline{Step-by-step \: explanation}$

Let the common multiple be x

According to the question,

6x = 150

x = 25

So, the second number will be,

5x = 5 × 25 = 125

Verification :

$\sf\dfrac{150}{125} \: = \: \sf\dfrac{6}{5}$

$\sf\dfrac{6}{5} \: = \: \sf\dfrac{6}{5}$

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence Verified!

☆ Some extra Info. :

• Ratio is always in its simplest form.

• To find the values in a ratio, always choose a variable.

• In terms of ratio, m : n = m/n

• Ratio has no units.
