A ratio compares quantities of the same type given in the same units.

Write the problem in equation form and let $x$ be the unknown value

$4:7$ $=$ $x:28$

Convert the ratios into fraction form and solve for $x$ .

$4:7$ $=$ $x:28$

$4/7$ $=$ $x/(28)$ Convert to fraction form

$7(x)$ $=$ $4(28)$ Cross multiply

$7x$ $divide7$ $=$ $112$ $divide7$ Divide both sides by $7$

$x$ $=$ $16$

$16$

A ratio compares quantities of the same type given in the same units.

We are given the largest amount of money, which is $$20$

Divide this value by the number of parts of its ratio, which is $5$

$20divide5$ $=$ $4$

This would be the value of each part.

Multiply this value by the number of parts of the smallest ratio, which is $3$ .

$3xx4$ $=$ $12$

Therefore, the smallest amount in the ratio would be $$12$ .

$$12$
Question 4 of 4

A ratio compares quantities of the same type given in the same units.

The amount of sand needed for the mixture is $96 \text(kg)$ .

Divide this value by the number of parts of its ratio, which is $16$ .

$96divide16$ $=$ $6$

This would be the value of each part.

Multiply this value by the number of parts of both cement and water.

Cement:

$13xx6$ $=$ $78$

Water:

$10xx6$ $=$ $60$

$\text(Cement)=78 \text(kg)$

$\text(Water)=60 \text(kg)$

$9000:5000$	$=$	$3600:x$

$9000/5000$	$=$	$(3600)/x$	Convert to fraction form

$9/5$	$=$	$(3600)/x$	Simplify

$9(x)$	$=$	$3600(5)$	Cross multiply
$9x$ $divide9$	$=$	$18000$ $divide9$	Divide both sides by $9$
$x$	$=$	$2000$
