b. 3:5
c.3:4
d.2:3


Sagot :

LETTER A ( 2:5 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: m:n = 4:3

Find: 3m - 2n : 3m + n

__________________________

From the given , we get that: m = 4 and n = 3

Thus , We will substitute the value of each variable to the unknown proportion:

= 3m - 2n : 3m + n

= 3(4) - 2(3) : 3(4) + 3

= 12 - 6 : 12 + 3

= 6 : 15

__________________________

The lowest term of 6:15 is 2:5. Therefore , the correct answer is Letter A
