Question

The ratio of two numbers is 3:5. If the antecedent is 24, find the consequent.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ratio =3:5

3=24

Step-by-step explanation:

So,it is 3×8=24

so,5 also multiplied by 8

5×8=40

so,24:40

consequent=40

Answer 2

Answer:

The consequent is 40

Solution:

Given that the ratio of two numbers is 3 : 5

Let x be the common multiple

Then 3x is the antecedent and 5x is the consequent

By the given condition,

3x = 24

or, x = 24 / 3

or, x = 8

Therefore, the consequent is

= 5 * 8 = 40

Verifying the answer:

Here we have found the antecedents as 24 and the consequent as 40.

Thus their ratio

= 24 : 40

= 3 : 5

Thus the answer is verified.
