Penjelasan
M:N:Q == 5:4:3
i.e M = 5, N = 4, Q = 3
Substituting values into equation, we have...
\(\frac{2N - Q}{M}\)
= \(\frac{2(4) - 3}{5}\)
= \(\frac{8 - 3}{5}\)
= \(\frac{5}{5}\)
= 1
i.e M = 5, N = 4, Q = 3
Substituting values into equation, we have...
\(\frac{2N - Q}{M}\)
= \(\frac{2(4) - 3}{5}\)
= \(\frac{8 - 3}{5}\)
= \(\frac{5}{5}\)
= 1
