Question

What is the missing term that makes these ratios equivalent? 1.5:3, 31.5:____

Answer 1

Answer:  63

=========================================

Work Shown:

1.5/3 = 31.5/x

1.5x = 3*31.5  cross multiply

1.5x = 94.5

x = 94.5/1.5  dividing both sides by 1.5

x = 63

-----------

An alternative equation to solve is

1.5/31.5 = 3/x

1.5x = 31.5*3

1.5x = 94.5

The remainder of the steps are the same as in the previous section above.
