Enter your answer and show all the steps that you use to solve this problem in the space provided. Given the proportion a/b=8/15, what ratio completes the equivalent proportion a/8 =?
To find the missing ratio that completes the equivalent proportion a/8, we need to find a number that is proportional to both 8 and 15.
First, we set up a proportion using the given information:
a/b = 8/15
We can rewrite this proportion in terms of a/8 by multiplying both sides by 8:
(a/b) * 8 = (8/15) * 8
a = 64/15
Therefore, the missing ratio that completes the proportion a/8 is 64/15.
