If a/b = 2/5, then B/A = 5/2. True or false?
Added by Eric T.
Step 1
If a/b= 2/5, then we can cross-multiply to get: a * 5 = b * 2 Now, if we want to find B/A, we need to flip the fractions: B/A = b/a Substituting the above equation, we get: B/A = (a * 5) / (b * 2) Simplifying this expression, we get: B/A = 5/2 Show more…
