Question

two numbers are in the ratio 4:17 .if the first number is 8.calculate the other number?

Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio can be written as 4x and 17x. The first number is 8 so 4x = 8, x=2

In 17x in place of x substitute 2 that will 17×2 = 34

Answer 2

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

From the above given problem, we come to know that two numbers are in the ratio of 4:17.

So, let one number be 4x and let another number be 17x.

From the above given data, the first number is already given which is 8.

So, to find out the second number we have to find the value of x first.

Hence , according to the problem,

4x=8 [ since the value of first number is already given, we can form an equation to find out the value of].

x = 8/4

x= 2.

Therefore , the second number will be 17×x or 17 × 2= 34.
