Question

All of the following are equivalent to 3:8=x:32 except
8:3 = 32:x
3:x = 8:32
x:8 = 3:32
8:32 = 3:x

Answer 1

3:8=x:32
=> \[\frac{3}{8} = \frac{x}{32}\]

(a) 8:3 = 32:x \[\frac{8}{3} = \frac{32}{x}\]
Take reciprocal for both sides \[\frac{3}{8} = \frac{x}{32}\]

(b) 3:x = 8:32 \[\frac{3}{x} = \frac{8}{32}\]\[\frac{3}{8} = \frac{x}{32}\]

(c) x:8 = 3:32 \[\frac{x}{8} = \frac{3}{32}\]\[32x =8(3)\]

(d) 8:32 = 3:x \[\frac{8}{32} = \frac{3}{x}\] \[\frac{x}{32} = \frac{3}{8}\]
What's the answer
