Question

What must be subracted from each term of the
ratio 49:68 So that it becomes 3:4?​

Answer 1

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number to he subtracted be x.

Ratio = 49-x/68-x

49-x = 3

68-x 4

On cross-multiplication,

4×(49-x) = 3×(68-x)

196 - 4x = 204 - 3x

-4x + 3x = 204 - 196

-x = 8

Therefore x = -8
