how the do you do thissssss?
5:2=8:10
never seen this in my life.
I replied to this before. It makes no sense as typed.
See below where you typed it correctly finally with an x in it.
well u gonna help me out?
check the other one i posted an example they put on the packet im doing.
eddie, You can not do that problem without a variable in it. Replace any of those numbers with an x and you have a problem you can solve for one, and only one, value of x to mke the proportions on both sides of the equal sign the same.
And, Eddie, if you don't want to be banned from posting on this website, please watch your language. You're right on the edge.
To solve the equation 5:2 = 8:10, we need to understand the concept of ratios. A ratio compares two quantities by division. In this case, we are comparing two ratios.
To solve this equation, we can cross-multiply and then solve for the unknown. Here's how you can do it step by step:
Step 1: Write down the given ratio.
5:2 = 8:10
Step 2: Cross-multiply.
Multiply the numerator of the first ratio (5) with the denominator of the second ratio (10), and then multiply the numerator of the second ratio (8) with the denominator of the first ratio (2). This gives us:
5 * 10 = 8 * 2
Step 3: Simplify.
Evaluate both sides of the equation:
50 = 16
Step 4: Analyze the result.
Since 50 is not equal to 16, the equation 5:2 = 8:10 is not true. The two ratios are not equal.
Therefore, the equation 5:2 = 8:10 is not valid.
