Please help ): I have 10 minutes to get this haha..

anonymous · Answer

Its probably really simple, i just keep getting the answer wrong..

563blackghost · Answer

15 could become either 10 or 30... So lets first try with 10

$$\frac{ 15 }{ 10 } \div \frac{ 5 }{ 5 } = \frac{ 3 }{ 2 } = 3:2$$ Now we simplify to its lowest and we get the ratio 3:2 now lets try 30....

$$\frac{ 15 }{ 30 } \div \frac{ 15 }{ 15 }=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }=3:2$$ Now this one simplifies dow to the ratio 1:2.....

Now we have our ratio but we need to remeber that we have to do it according to corresponding sides so 15 corresponds to which side?...

10?

563blackghost · Answer
