Question

what number must be added to each term of the ratio 9:16 to make the ratio 2:3​

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

9+x/16+x=2/3

27+3x=32+2x

27-32=2x-3x

-5=-1x. (cancel the negative sign)

therefore, x=5.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number must be taken as x.

Now ,

According to the question,

9/16+x=2/3

9+16x/16=2/3

3×(9+16x)=16×2

27+48x=32

48x=32-27

48x=5

×=5/48

Therefore, when the number 5/48 added to each term of ratio 9:16 we get the ratio 2:3.
