Question

What must be added to each term of ratio 2:5 to make it 5:6?

Answer 1

Answer:

!!

Step-by-step explanation:

2 + x / 5 + x = 5/6

12 + 6x = 25 + 5x

6x - 5x = 25 - 12

x = 13

So we must added 13

Answer 2

Solution :

Let the Unknown value be x

Given ,

x be added to each term of ratio 2:5

⇒( 2 + x )/(5 + x)

To make it 5 : 6

⇒ ( 2 + x )/(5 + x) = 5 /6

⇒ 12 + 6x = 25 + 5x

⇒ 6x - 5x = 25 - 12

⇒ x = 13

Therefore , We must be added 13 to each term of ratio 2 : 5 to make it 5 : 6
