Question

the ratio of two quantities is 5:3.if the first quantity is 750,find the second.​

Answer 1

Answer:

A certain number should be added to both parts of the ratio to get the actual numbers. Let's assume that the 'certain number' is x.

1st quantity = 5x (750)

2nd quantity = 3x

5x = 750

x = 750 ÷ 5

x = 150

Hence, 2nd number = 3x

= 3 × 150

= 450

The 2nd number is 450

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

let first quantity=5/8x=5x/8

second quantity=3x

given,

• 5x/8=750
• 5x=750×8
• 5x=6000
• x=6000/5
• x=1200

second quantity=3x=3×1200=3600
