Question

Express in the form 1 : n . Give n as a decimal. 4 : 6

Answer 1

Answer:

n = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio of 1 : n is equivalent to the ratio 4 : 6.

We can rewrite these equivalent ratio as,

$\frac{1}{n}=\frac{4}{6}$

Now we have to solve this expression for the value of n.

$\frac{1}{n}=\frac{2\times 2}{2\times 3}$

$\frac{1}{n}= \frac{2}{3}$

n = $\frac{3}{2}$

n = 1.5

Therefore, n = 1.5 will be the answer.
