One-third of 12 cookies are peanut butter.
12/3 =4
4 cookies are peanut butter
4 to 7 = 4/7
5/8 is not.
12/20 = 6/10 = 3/5 . It is not equivalent.
8:14 = 4 : 7 . It is equivalent
5 to 10 = 1 to 2. It is not.
16/28 = 8/14 = 4/7. It is equivalent.
9 to 16 = 9 to 16. It is not equivalent.
So only 8:14 and 16/28 are equivalent to 4 to 7.
Answer:
the time taken for the ball to hit the ground is 9.4s
7x - 5 = 30
* add 5 to both sides
7x = 30 + 5
7x = 35
* divided both sides by 7
(7/7)x = 35/7
<u><em>x = 5</em></u>
To solve this, it is easiest to set up a proportion, letting x represent the number that we don't know.
2/10 = x/5
Now, we can use cross products to simplify this proportion. Cross products sets the products of the numerator and denominator of separate fractions equal to one another. It results in the equation:
(5)(2) = (10)(x)
Let's multiply out these numbers to further simplify the equation.
10 = 10x
Finally, we have to divide both sides by 10, to get our variable x alone
x = 1
Therefore, 2 tenths is equal to 1 fifth.
