Find the number that makes the ratio equivalent to 16:2.
_:10
To find the missing number that makes the ratio equivalent to 16:2, we need to determine the value of the missing term in the ratio _:10.
Since the ratio 16:2 can be written as 16/2, we can simplify it by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2.
16 ÷ 2 = 8
2 ÷ 2 = 1
Therefore, the simplified ratio is 8:1.
To make the ratio 8:1 equivalent to _:10, we need to determine the missing term in the ratio _:10.
Since the ratios are equivalent, we can set up an equation:
8/1 = x/10
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
8 * 10 = 1 * x
80 = x
Therefore, the missing number that makes the ratio 8:1 equivalent to _:10 is 80.
