Question

Equivalent ration of b/40=9/10 b=____ ?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is b = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find out what b is, you must find out what 9/10 is.

9/10 is 0.9. This will later be used to check our answer.

Now, solve by using cross-multiplication

b * 10 = 9 * 40.

Then use the commutative property to reorder the terms

10b = 9 * 40

Now Multiply 9 * 40 = 360

10b = 360

Now divide both sides of the equation by 10

b = 36
