Find the number that makes the ratio equivalent to 4:14.

Question

_:98

Answer 1

To find the missing number, we can set up a proportion.

Let x be the missing number.

The proportion can be set up as:

4/14 = x/98

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and then divide:

4 * 98 = 14 * x

392 = 14x

Now, divide both sides by 14:

392/14 = x

28 = x

Therefore, the missing number that makes the ratio 4:14 equivalent to _:98 is 28.
