Question

Fill in the blank :

$200:\dots \dots \dots \dots ..is8:5$

Answer 1

Given that ,$200:\dots \dots \dots \dots ..is8:5$

Let assume the given blank is ' $y$ '

So, $200:yis8:5$

write the ratios in fraction form and equate them,

$\frac{200}{y}=\frac{8}{5}$

on cross-multiplication, we get

$200\times 5=y\times 8$

rewrite it as,

$y\times 8=200\times 5$

transpose $8$to the RHS

$y=\frac{200\times 5}{8}$

on dividing $200by8$, we get

$$\begin{gathered} y=25\times 5 \\ y=125. \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the answer of given blank is $125.$
