The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the missing numbers in the equivalent ratio `(15)/(18) = (…)/(6) = (10)/(…) = (…)/(30)`, we will denote the missing numbers as follows: - Let the first missing number be \( x \) (so we have \( (15)/(18) = (x)/(6) \)). - Let the second missing number be \( y \) (so we have \( (10)/(y) \)). - Let the third missing number be \( z \) (so we have \( (z)/(30) \)). Now, we will find the values of \( x \), \( y \), and \( z \). ### Step 1: Find \( x \) We start with the first part of the ratio: \[ \frac{15}{18} = \frac{x}{6} \] To find \( x \), we can cross-multiply: \[ 15 \cdot 6 = 18 \cdot x \] This simplifies to: \[ 90 = 18x \] Now, divide both sides by 18: \[ x = \frac{90}{18} = 5 \] ### Step 2: Find \( y \) Next, we look at the second part of the ratio: \[ \frac{10}{y} = \frac{15}{18} \] Again, we cross-multiply: \[ 10 \cdot 18 = 15 \cdot y \] This simplifies to: \[ 180 = 15y \] Now, divide both sides by 15: \[ y = \frac{180}{15} = 12 \] ### Step 3: Find \( z \) Finally, we consider the last part of the ratio: \[ \frac{z}{30} = \frac{15}{18} \] Cross-multiplying gives us: \[ z \cdot 18 = 15 \cdot 30 \] This simplifies to: \[ 18z = 450 \] Now, divide both sides by 18: \[ z = \frac{450}{18} = 25 \] ### Final Answers The missing numbers are: - \( x = 5 \) - \( y = 12 \) - \( z = 25 \) Thus, the complete equivalent ratio is: \[ \frac{15}{18} = \frac{5}{6} = \frac{10}{12} = \frac{25}{30} \]
