Answer 1

To compare the ratios 4:5 and 8:10, we can look for equivalent ratios.

1. The ratio 4:5 can be multiplied by 2 to find a larger equivalent ratio:
- \( 4 \times 2 = 8 \)
- \( 5 \times 2 = 10 \)
Thus, \( 4:5 \) is equivalent to \( 8:10 \).

2. We also see that 4:5 can be expressed in terms of its multiples:
- 4 * 1 = 4, 5 * 1 = 5
- 4 * 2 = 8, 5 * 2 = 10
- 4 * 3 = 12, 5 * 3 = 15
- 4 * 4 = 16, 5 * 4 = 20

Now we can fill in the missing values from the two tables:

From your table, the values you've provided are:
- 4, 5
- A, B
- 8, 10
- 16, 20

From this, we see:
- The ratio corresponding to A and B should maintain the same proportion as the others while it's given that:
- \( 4:5 = A:B \)

Using the relationship established, we can see that:
To find A, we can set up the proportion:
\[ \frac{4}{5} = \frac{A}{B} \]

Since B aligns in similar proportions to the provided entries:
- If we assume the next intermediate ratio will be keeping the fractions \( A = 12 \) (as \( 4 \times 3 \)) and \( B = 15 \) (as \( 5 \times 3 \)), we can deduce the next multiples still holding true between both sets.

So:
- **Missing Value A = 12**
- **Missing Value B = 15**

Final filled results:
- A = 12
- B = 15

Thus:
- Missing Value A = 12
- Missing Value B = 15
