Question

The number which has the same ratio to 26 that 6 has to 13 is​

Answer 1

Let us imagine that the number is x

The ratio of 6 to 13 is 6 / 13

This ratio should be equal to ratio of number x and 26 means x / 26

6 / 13 = x / 26

13x = 26 × 6

x = 26 × 6 / 13

x = 2 × 6

x = 12

Thus the number is 12 which is having same ratio with 26 as 6 is having with 13

Answer 2

Answer:

In such problems, one has to set ratio equation between the given values.

Let us imagine that the number is x

The ratio of 6 to 13 is 6 / 13

This ratio should be equal to ratio of number x and 26 means x / 26

6 / 13 = x / 26

13x = 26 × 6

x = 26 × 6 / 13

x = 2 × 6

x = 12

Thus the number is 12 which is having same ratio with 26 as 6 is having with 13
