If m:n=3:8, find the value of \left( 3m+2n \right):\left( 5m+n \right)
If m:n=3:8, find the value of \left( 3m+2n \right):\left( 5m+n \right)

The ratio is used for comparing two quantities of the sane kind.

The ratio formula for two numbers says a and b is given by a:b or a/b. When two or more such ratios are equal, they are said to be in proportion.

The concept of ratio and proportion is majorly based on ratios and fractions.  

Solution:

From the question it is given that,

m:n=3:8

m/n=3/8

\left( 3m+2n \right)/\left( 5m/n \right)

Now, divide both numerator and denominator by 'n'we get,

=\left[ \left( 3m/n \right)+\left( 2n/n \right) \right]/\left[ \left( 5m/n \right)+\left( n/n \right) \right]

=\left[ \left( 3m/n \right)+2 \right]/\left[ \left( 5m/n \right)+1 \right]

Now, substitute the value of m and n we get,

=\left[ \left( 3\left( 3/8 \right) \right)+2 \right]/\left[ \left( 5\left( 3/8 \right) \right)+1 \right]

=\left( \left( 9/8 \right)+2 \right)/\left( \left( 15/8 \right)+1 \right)

=25/23

Therefore, the value of \left( 3m+2n \right):\left( 5m+n \right)=25:23
