1:8
-
4:1
-

-
1
Correct Answer
A. 1Explanation
The given equation is a proportion, where the ratio of 4:16 is equal to the ratio of x:4. To solve this proportion, we can cross multiply. By multiplying 4 and x, we get 4x, and by multiplying 16 and 4, we get 64. Therefore, the equation becomes 4x = 64. To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4, which gives us x = 16. However, none of the answer choices match this value of x. Therefore, the correct answer is not available.Rate this question:

With the special offer, you can buy 4 tyres for the price of 3. Since each tyre costs $100, the total cost for 4 tyres would normally be $400. However, with the special offer, you get one tyre for free, so the cost is reduced to $300. Additionally, there is a 10% discount, which further reduces the cost by $30. Therefore, the total cost for 4 tyres with this special offer is $270.Rate this question:
