"20:35 = 16: blank" This was my home work today (not all of it.duh). It would really help me out if someone could answer this. Thank you!!

Respuesta :

Looks as tho' we have an equation of ratios here. It may be a bit clearer if we write this equation as follows:

20 16

----- = -------

35 x


Then 20x = 560, and solving for x results in x = 28.

'28' goes into that blank spot!

[tex] \dfrac{20}{35}=\dfrac{20:5}{35:5}=\dfrac{4}{7}\\\\\dfrac{4}{7}=\dfrac{4\cdot4}{7\cdot4}=\dfrac{16}{28}\\\\Answer:\ \dfrac{20}{35}=\dfrac{16}{28} [/tex]
