You asked:

Solve \(0.75 : \frac{3}{4}=0.8 : ?\) for the variable \(?\).

MathBot Answer:

$$\begin{aligned}? &= \frac{4}{5} = 0.8000\end{aligned}$$

First, simplify the equation.\[0.75 : \frac{3}{4} = 0.8 : ?\]\[15 : 15=16 : 20 ?\]

Express both ratios as fractions. \[\frac{15}{15} = \frac{16}{20 ?}\]

Cross-multiply and solve for the unknown. $$\begin{aligned}\frac{15}{15} &= \frac{16}{20 ?} \\ 300 ? &= 240 \\ ? &&= \frac{4}{5} &= 0.8000 \end{aligned}$$
