Why can you multiply or divide both terms of a ratio by the same number without changing the value of the ratio?

1 answer:

5 0

3:4 = 6:8

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{6}{8}$

The same principle is used with fractions. The identity property of multiplication states that any number times 1 is the same number. Since $\frac{2}{2}$ = 1, the fraction/ratio does not change in value.

Answer:

y = 1/2 (2)x

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation y = abx , substitute both of your given points into that equation.

2 = ab2 and 4 = ab3 Solve each equation for a.

2⁄b2 and 4⁄b3 = a Therefore, 2⁄b2 = 4⁄b3

Cross multiply: 2b3 = 4b2 Divide both sides by b2

2b = 4 a = 2/4 = 1/2

b = 2
