Question

What number should be added to or substracted from each term of ratio 17:24, so that it becomes equal to 1:2

Answer 1

Answer:

$let \: the \: requred \: num \: added \: or \: subtracted = x \\ so \: according \: to \: the \: que \\ \frac{17 + x}{24 + x} = \frac{1}{2} \\ = 34 + 2x = 24 + x \\ = 34 + 2x - 24 - x = 0 \\ = 10 + x = 0 \\ = x = - 10 \\ \\ therefore \: 10 \: shoud \: be \: subtracted$
