What ratio is equivalent to 3 to 8

6 to 16

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a lot of equivalent equations but you can't simplify 3 to 8.

If you were to multiply both by 2 you would get a new ratio: 6 to 16

Step-by-step explanation:

As long as you multiply both 3 and 8 by the same number you will get a ratio that is equal to 3:8

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

a(n) - a(n-1) -3

discussion:

this ones a bit interesting. given a(n) = 5 - 3n consider this:

a(n-1) = 5 - 3(n-1)

          = (5 - 3n) + 3             => but a(n) = 5 - 3n, the first term

          = a(n)   + 3                 => subtract 3 from both sides

a(n-1) -3 = a(n)  

or

a(n) - a(n-1) -3
