Question

the ratio of two quantities is 3:4. if the antecedent is 15, the consequent is? explain

Answer 1

let the numbers be 3x and 4x
given 3x= 15
x= 5
therefore 4x= 4*5= 20...

Answer 2

Answer:

Consequent (y)= 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x, y are two quantities .

Given x:y = 3:4

and antecedent (x)=15

consequent = y

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{15}{y}$

Do the cross multiplication, we get

$y=\frac{15\times 4}{3}$

$\implies y = 20$

Therefore,

Consequent (y)= 20
