Question

NEED ASAP!! Find the ratio a:b if it is given that..

1) $\frac{a}{5}$=$\frac{b}{7}$

2)2a=9b

3)6a-3b=5b

Answer 1

Answer: (1) 7:5 (2) 2:9 (3) 3:4

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{a}{5} = \frac{b}{7}$

cross multiply to get: 7a = 5b

ratio = 7:5

*************************************

2a = 9b

ratio = 2:9

************************************

6a - 3b = 5b

     +3b  +3b

6a         = 8b

÷2           ÷2

3a         = 4b

ratio = 3:4
