Question

Find the ratio between a:b for each problem

Answer 1

1.  2a=9b  first we will divide the both sides with parameter b and get

2(a/b)=9 now we will divide both sides with number 2 and get

a/b=9/2 => a : b = 9 : 2

2. 6a-3b=5b first we will add to both sides number (+3) and get

6a=5b+3b => 6a=8b then divide the both sides with parameter b and get

6(a/b)=8 now we will divide the both sides with number 6 and get

a/b=8/6 if we simplify the fraction we get  

a/b=4/3 => a : b = 4 : 3

3.  a+b=3b we will add to the both sides parameter (-b) and get

a=3b-b => a=2b then divide the both sides with parameter b and get

a/b=2 => a/b=2/1 => a : b = 2 : 1

4.  a/5=b/7 first we will divide the both sides with paremeter b and get

a/(5b)=1/7 now we will multiply the both sides with number 5 and get

a/b=5/7 => a : b = 5 : 7

Good luck!!!
