State whether the given statement are true (T) or false (F).15m : 40m

1.	State whether the given statement are true (T) or false (F).15m : 40m = 35m : 65m
Answer» False. Consider the two ratios 15m : 40m = 35m : 65m 15/40 = 35/65 15/40 is further simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by 5 we get, = 3/7 35/65 is further simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by 5 we get, = 7/13 Hence, 3/7 ≠ 7/13 Therefore, 15/40 ≠ 35/65

State whether the given statement are true (T) or false (F).15m : 40m = 35m : 65m

Answer»

False.

Consider the two ratios 15m : 40m = 35m : 65m

15/40 = 35/65

15/40 is further simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by 5 we get,

= 3/7

35/65 is further simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by 5 we get,

= 7/13

Hence, 3/7 ≠ 7/13

Therefore, 15/40 ≠ 35/65
