Find s and k in 5:1:2 = s:2:k
AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
5:1:2 = 10:2:4
Apologies for the misunderstanding. You are correct. The correct values of s and k in the equation 5:1:2 = s:2:k are s = 10 and k = 4. Thank you for pointing out the error.
To find the values of s and k in the equation 5:1:2 = s:2:k, we can set up a proportion.
The given proportion is 5:1:2 = s:2:k.
This can be rewritten as 5/1 = s/2 = 2/k.
Now we can solve for s and k.
First, let's solve for s:
5/1 = s/2.
To solve for s, we can cross-multiply:
5 * 2 = 1 * s.
10 = s.
So, s = 10.
Now, let's solve for k:
2/k = s/2.
Substituting the value of s we found, we get:
2/k = 10/2.
Cross-multiplying:
2 * 2 = 10 * k.
4 = 10k.
Dividing both sides by 10:
4/10 = k.
So, k = 0.4.
Therefore, the values of s and k are s = 10 and k = 0.4.
To find the values of s and k, we can set up a proportion using the given ratio:
5:1:2 = s:2:k
First, we can eliminate the common factor of 2 from the ratio on the right side:
5:1:2 = s:1:k
Now, we can set up the proportion:
5/1 = s/1
Cross-multiplying gives us:
5 = s
Therefore, s = 5.
Now, substituting the value of s in the original equation, we have:
5:1:2 = 5:1:k
To find the value of k, we can cross-multiply again:
1 * k = 2 * 1
k = 2
Therefore, k = 2.
So, the values of s and k in the equation 5:1:2 = s:2:k are s = 5 and k = 2.
