Question

What number needs to be added to 5 and 3 so that the ratio of the first number to the second becomes 4 : 3? ​

Answer 1

Answer : 3 ✔️

Solution :

Let, x should be added

According to the question :

$\frac{5 + x}{3 + x} = \frac{4}{3} \\ \\ = > 3(5 + x) = 4(3 + x) \\ \\ = > 15 + 3x = 12 + 4x \\ \\ = > 4x - 3x = 15 - 12 \\ \\ = > x = 3$

So, 3 should be added to make the ratio 4:3 between 5 and 3
