For positive numbers a, b, and c, and
选项
C.The two quantities are equal.
D.The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
解析
对于正数\(a\)、\(b\)和\(c\),满足\(\boldsymbol{\frac{ab}{c}=1}\)且\(\boldsymbol{\frac{c}{a}=4}\)。
- **Quantity A**:\(b\)
- **Quantity B**:\(4\)
我们需要通过已知等式推导\(b\)的值,再与\(4\)比较:
1. **从\(\boldsymbol{\frac{c}{a}=4}\)推导\(c\)与\(a\)的关系**:
因为\(a\)是正数(题目明确\(a\)为正数),等式两边同乘\(a\)可得:
\[
c = 4a
\]
2. **从\(\boldsymbol{\frac{ab}{c}=1}\)推导\(ab\)与\(c\)的关系**:
因为\(c\)是正数(题目明确\(c\)为正数),等式两边同乘\(c\)可得:
\[
ab = c
\]
3. **代入\(c = 4a\)求\(b\)**:
将\(c = 4a\)代入\(ab = c\),得:
\[
ab = 4a
\]
因为\(a\)是正数(\(a \neq 0\)),等式两边同除以\(a\),得:
\[
b = 4
\]
