Answer:
1. 1.25
2. 0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 2 : 2.5 = 1.25 Ratio from P To Q - 1 : 1.25
2. 2.5 : 2 = 0.8 Ratio from Q to P - 1 : 0.8
1. All you have to do is find the corresponding sides(meaning similar) and the compare them from one to another.
Example:
I know 5 and 4 are corresponding sides because they are similar. The ratio is Q to P we can find by writing them down. It can be written like this.
5:4 is so when we multiply this ratio from any side of Q we will get the correpoding side from P.
5:4 ratio = 1 : 0.8 - So the ratio is 0.8
There this is another ratio that we can compare to.
Now let’s say we need to find when the one of the P side is 4 and what would be the corresponding side.
4 x 1.25(ratio from P to Q) = 5
We can also find when the P side is 3 what would be Q’s corresponding side. Which is the ratio from P to Q or 1.25.
So just multiply 3 by 1.25.
3 x 1.25 = 3.75
3.75 x 0.8 = 3
