Question: 1 / 400

What number is equivalent to the ratio of 1.2 to 43 when paired with 4.8?

43

172

To determine the number that is equivalent to the ratio of 1.2 to 43 when paired with 4.8, we first need to understand what the ratio represents. The ratio of 1.2 to 43 can be expressed as the fraction \( \frac{1.2}{43} \).

Now, we're looking for a number such that when it is compared to 4.8, it has the same ratio as \( \frac{1.2}{43} \). Let's denote this unknown number as \( x \). We want to set up the equivalent ratio:

\[

\frac{1.2}{43} = \frac{4.8}{x}

\]

To find \( x \), we can cross-multiply:

\[

1.2 \cdot x = 4.8 \cdot 43

\]

Calculating \( 4.8 \cdot 43 \):

\[

4.8 \times 43 = 206.4

\]

Now substitute back into the equation:

\[

1.2 \cdot x = 206.4

\]

Next, we solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides by 1.2
