Question

what number should be added to or subtracted from each term of the ratio 11 : 9 so that it becomes equal to 6 : 5?

Answer 1

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

If we multiply 6 and 5 by 2, we get 12 and 10.

So, the ratio must be 11 : 9, which can be simplified further to get 6 : 5.

To get 12, (12 - 11) 1 must be added to 11, and,

To get 10, (10 - 9) 1 must be added to 9.

So, 1 must be added to each term of the ratio 11 : 9 to make it 6 : 5.
