Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. aa and bb are non-zero numbers. We are asked to find the ratio aba b
Problem19 36b=28a\frac{36}{b}=\frac{28}{a}

STEP 2

First, we need to isolate aa in the equation. We can do this by cross multiplying.
a=36×28ba = \frac{36 \times28}{b}

STEP 3

We are asked to find the ratio aba b, so we can substitute the value of aa from the equation above into the ratio.
ab=36×28bba b = \frac{36 \times28}{b} b

STEP 4

implify the ratio by cancelling out bb.
ab=36×281a b =36 \times281

STEP 5

Calculate the value of 36×2836 \times28.
ab=10081a b =10081So, for problem19, the ratio aba b is 1008110081.
Problem20 5a3b=7b5a -3b =7b

STEP 6

First, we need to isolate aa in the equation. We can do this by adding 3b3b to both sides of the equation and then dividing by5.
a=5a5=b+3b5a = \frac{5a}{5} = \frac{b +3b}{5}

STEP 7

implify the equation to find the value of aa.
a=10b5=2ba = \frac{10b}{5} =2b

STEP 8

We are asked to find the ratio aba b, so we can substitute the value of aa from the equation above into the ratio.
ab=2bba b =2b b

STEP 9

implify the ratio by cancelling out bb.
ab=2a b =2So, for problem20, the ratio aba b is 22.
