Question

If `bb(a/b = 7/3)` then find the value of the following ratio.

`(7a + 9b)/(7a - 9b)`

Sum

Solution

`a/b = 7/3`

Let the common multiple be k.

⇒ `a = 7k , b = 3k`

`therefore ( 7a + 9b )/( 7a - 9b)`

= `( 7 xx 7k + 9 xx 3k )/( 7 xx 7k - 9 xx 3k )`

= `( 49k + 27k )/( 49k - 27k)`

= `(76k)/(22k)`

= `38/11`
