how do i solve 8 is to 15 as 24 is to __________
Cross multiply and solve for x.
8/15 * 24/x
I don't understand how to do it can you show me.
8/15 * 24/x
8x = 15*24
8x = 360
x = 45
You can prove it by reducing 24/45 to 8/15.
To solve the analogy "8 is to 15 as 24 is to ________," you need to find the missing number that follows the same pattern as the given numbers.
The analogy "8 is to 15" means that there is a relationship between these two numbers. To find this relationship, you can divide 15 by 8:
15 ÷ 8 = 1.875
The result is approximately 1.875.
Now, we can use this ratio to find the missing number. Multiply the second given number, 24, by the ratio we just calculated:
24 × 1.875 = 45
Therefore, the missing number in the analogy "8 is to 15 as 24 is to ________" is 45.
