What is the ratio of p to r ?
(1) 2p/r = 30
(2) p/(3r) = 5
Note: The ratio
p to r can also be expressed using fraction notation to get
p/rTarget question: What is the value of p/r ?Aside: I altered the notation because the two statements are giving us information in fraction form Statement 1: 2p/r = 30 Divide both sides of the equation by 2 to get:
p/r = 15Since we can answer the
target question with certainty, statement 1 is SUFFICIENT
Statement 2: p/(3r) = 5Multiply both sides of the equation by 3 to get:
p/r = 15Since we can answer the
target question with certainty, statement 2 is SUFFICIENT
Answer: D
Cheers,
Brent
