Question

If 5:m as 12:60, then m is equal to

Answer 1

Hello there!

First, let's simplify our second ratio, 12:60.

They both can be divided by 12, so let's simplify.

1:5 to 5:m

This means 1:5 multiplied by 5 to get 5:m, so we need to multiply the "5" in 1:5 to get m.

5 x 5 = 25

m = 25

I hope this helps!
