Question

What must be added to each term of 4:9 so that it becomes 2:3?

Answer 1

Thanks for asking the question!

ANSWER::

Let the added term be x/y

So, 4/9 + x/y = 2/3

x/y = 2/3 - 4/9

x/y = 6-4/9

x/y = 2/9 is the term which when added to 4/9 gives 2/3.

Verification :-

4/9 + 2/9

6/9

2/3

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

To find :

What must be added to each term of 4:9 so that it becomes 2:3?


Solution :

Let them a and b .

Now ,

$\frac{4}{9} + \frac{a}{b} = \frac{2}{3} \\ \frac{a}{b} = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{4}{9} \\ \frac{a}{b} = \frac{6 - 4}{9} = \frac{2}{9}$
The required numbers are 2 and 9 .
