Answer 1

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Given The ratio between two numbers is 2:3 If it consequent is 24 the antecedent is

We know that in a ratio the first term is called antecedent and the second term is called the consequent.

here 2 is called antecedent and 3 is consequent. So product of means is equal to product of extremes.

 We can write this as

  2 : 3 : : x : 24

 So 2 / 3 = x / 24

  3 x = 24 x 2

  x = 8 x 2

 x = 16

The antecedent is 16
