If c = 4 and d = 5, find d:c.
Answer: The answer is d : c = 5 : 4.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given the following values of c and d :
\(c=4,~~~d=5.\)
We are to find d : c.
We know that
a : b means the division of a to b in the simplest form, where the numerator and denominator do not have any common factor.
So, for the given variables c and d, we get
\(d:c\\\\\dfrac{d}{c}\\\\\\=\dfrac{5}{4}\\\\=5:4.\)
Thus, d : c = 5 : 4.
