Well...this is a proportion problwm. for every 16 cups I have 1 gallon, so I can write that as:
16 cups
-----------
1 gallon
this value will be proportional to 1/4 a gallon equal "so many" cups. let's equal the unknown about of cups to x.
16 cups______ x cups
-----------.... = ..... ----------
1 gallon _____ 1/4 gallons
I can cross multiply to find x.
1 gallon • x cups = 16 cups • 1/4 gallons
16 times 1/4 is the same as 16/4, which equals 4.
1 gallon • x cups = 4 cups gallons
divide both sides by gallons
x cups = 4 cups
so! 1/4 of a gallon equals 4 cups.
In most cases, income tax brackets are progressive, meaning that the greater the income, the higher the rate of taxation. Federal rates for the 2013 tax year range from 10 to 39.6 percent. State and city rates are generally much lower.
I tryed my best to figure out what all of the numbers were. if i got any wrong then please tell me and i will put the right answer in the comments.
1) 3/5= 5/x (cross multiply)
3x=5(5)
3x=25
x= 25/3 -or- 8.33
2) 2/4=x/12<span> (cross multiply</span><span>)
</span> 2(12)=4x
24=4x
6=x
3) 10/x=5/9<span> (cross multiply</span><span>)
10(9)=5x
90=5x
18=x
4) 5/5=x/18</span><span> (cross multiply</span><span>)
5(18)=18x
90=18x
5=x</span>
