Question

What same number must be added to each term of 7:3 so the ratio becomes 2:3

Answer 1

Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

given ratio = 7 : 13

Let x should be added to each term so

it become 2 : 3

( 7 + x ): ( 13 + x ) = 2 : 3

⇒ 3( 7 + x ) = 2( 13 + x )

⇒ 21 + 3x = 26 + 2x

⇒ 3x - 2x = 26 - 21

⇒ x = 5

∴ We should add 5 to each term of the ratio

7 : 13 so it becomes 2 : 3

Answer 2
