If a/b = 5/4, Then (4a + 3b) / (4a - 3b) = ?
If a/b = 5/4, Then (4a + 3b) / (4a - 3b) = ?
Answer/Solution
4
Steps/Work
Answer
Dividing numerator as well as denominator by b, we get
Given Exp. = (4a + 3b) / (4a - 3b) = (4a/b + 3) / (4a/b - 3)
Since a/b = 5/4
this implies that
=[(4*5)/4 +3]/[(4*5)/4 -3)]
= (5+ 3) / (5 - 3)
= 4
Option: E
Dividing numerator as well as denominator by b, we get
Given Exp. = (4a + 3b) / (4a - 3b) = (4a/b + 3) / (4a/b - 3)
Since a/b = 5/4
this implies that
=[(4*5)/4 +3]/[(4*5)/4 -3)]
= (5+ 3) / (5 - 3)
= 4
Option: E
