Question

20:m:4=p:5:1

Answer 1

To find the missing terms in the given equation, we can set up a proportion:

20 : m :: 4 : p :: 5 : 1

The proportion shows that 20 is to m as 4 is to p, and 4 is to p as 5 is to 1.

To find the missing terms, we can set up equations using cross multiplications:

20 * p = m * 4
4 * 5 = p * 1

Simplifying these equations:

20p = 4m
20 = p

Now, we can solve for the missing terms.

From the equation 20p = 4m, we can divide both sides by 4:

5p = m

So, the missing terms are m = 5p, and p = 20.
