A rate often involves time: e. g., 33 feet per second; also, we are finding the ratio of one type of measurement with respect to another: distance and time.

A proportion is often the ratio of different measures of the same thing:

e. g. 5 apples
------------
7 apples

What is the ratio a:b if 8a=3b?

Digiron [165]

The ratio a:b is 3:8

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple words, the ratio a:b means the fraction a/b.

So we will have to solve the given equation for a/b

Given

$8a=3b$

Dividing both sides by 8

$\frac{8a}{8}=\frac{3b}{8}\\a=\frac{3b}{8}$

Dividing both sides by b

$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{3b}{8*b}\\\frac{a}{b} =\frac{3}{8}$

The ratio a:b is 3:8
