The ratio of the length of a car to the Length of a van is 2 : 3. The car has a length of 240 cm. Find the Length of Van

Answer

Length of Van is 360 cm

Step-by-step explanation

• Let Length of Van be x

Given Ration = 2 : 3

According To Question, We can write as the following one

⇒ 2 : 3 :: 240 : x

• We know Product of means = Product of Extremes

⇒ 240 × 3 = 2 × x

⇒ 720 = 2x

• Dividing Both Sides by 2

⇒ x = 720/2

⇒ x = 360

∴ Length of Van is 360 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

96  144

Step-by-step explanation:

let the common multiple be "x"

2x:3x

now

   2x + 3x=240

or,5x=240

or,x=240/5

.-.x=48

putting x value in x 2x and 3x we get

2x

2x48=96

3x

3x48=144
