Answer:
A. Partitive Proportion
Step-by-step explanation:
HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT AN EQUATION OR A PROBLEM IS A PARTITIVE PROPORTION?
IT IS A PARTITIVE PROPORTION WHEN A WHOLE IS DIVIDED INTO PARTS THAT IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE GIVEN RATIO.
[tex]240 = 3: 5[/tex]
[tex]3 + 5 = 8[/tex]
equate:
[tex] \frac{8n}{8} = \frac{240}{8} [/tex]
cancel 8 and divide 240 by 8
[tex]240 \div 8 = 30[/tex]
[tex]3n \: (30) = 90 \\ 5n \: (30) = 150[/tex]
[tex]answer: \\ 90: 150[/tex]
to check:
[tex]150 \\ \frac{ + \: \: 90 \: \: \: }{240} [/tex]
150 is the bigger number
