Question

Bonus problem. Find the ratio a :b if it is given that 3a=8b​

Answer 1

Answer:

$a:b = 8:3$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the ration, we want to get in equation in the form $\frac{a}{b} =\frac{x}{y}$.

We can start by dividing by b on both sides:

3a = 8b

÷b     ÷b

$\frac{3a}{b} = 8$

Now, we can divide by 3 on both sides to get:

$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{8}{3}$

We can change the format into a ratio:

$a:b = 8:3$
