Question

the ratio of two quantities is 2 :7 if the larger one is 84 find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

Ratio = 2:7

Let the other number be x.

$\frac{2}{7} = \frac{x}{84} \\ x = \frac{84 \times 2}{7} \\ x = 24$

The other number is 24.

Answer 2

Given:

The ratio of two quantities is 2 :7

Larger one is 84

To Find:

Other one

Solution:

Let the Smaller quantity be = 2x

And the Larger quantity be = 7x

Now ATQ

Larger one is 84.

So

7x = 84

x = 12

And

Smaller one = 2x

putting value of x we get

Smaller one = 2×12 = 24

Hence, other quantity is 24.
