Answer:

120:300 is in the same ratio as 2:5. Can you add the pound sign? My keyboard does not have it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the two parts of the ratio together

2 + 5 = 7

Find 5:7

5:7 = x:420  

5/7 = x/420              Cross multiply

7x = 5 * 420             Combine the right

7x = 2100                  Divide by 7

x = 2100/7

x = 300                      

Find the second number

420 - 300 = 120

120 : 300 is the answer

Divide top and bottom by 60

120/60 = 2

300 / 60 = 5
