I think the scale of the factor of area is 2
We know that you have 83$ in your bank account.
Okay so what is 15+8=23 So that means you get 23$ per week.
Now what is 83+23=106
106+23=129
129+23=152
152+23=175
Now that was four 23's
That means it would take 4 weeks for you to have 175 dollars in your bank account.
Hope this helped.
You can do
3 * 2 and 11 * 2 which would be 6:22 and is still equal to the ratio 3:11. Your explanation can be the when divided by 2 or the number you multiplied by, you would get the original ratio
Examples:
6:22
9:33
12:44
Subsequent means following (in time, order or place f.e.)
