Hello all
I need help with the following problem:
Two measuring sticks use the same unit but the scale on one stick has 635 marks per unit and the scale on the other stick has 465 marks per unit. Suppose the sticks are placed together so that the 0 mark on each scale line up. What is the number of the next mark on the 465 scale that lines up exactly with a mark on the 635 scale?
I know that the the 635 scale is 635 / 465 times longer than the second scale. How would I find the mark?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks
