Use proportion to solve this.
240 miles needs 9 gallons
216 miles needs (9÷240) × 216 = 8.1 gallons

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

n = - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

n + 6 = 2n/4

4 (n+6) = 2n

4n + 24 = 2n

4n - 2n = - 24

2n = -24

n = - 24/2

n = - 12

The ratios 84/105 and 128/160 are proportional

Solution:

Given, two ratios are $\frac{84}{105}$ and $\frac{128}{160}$

We have to give two different reasons to support the answer.

Reason 1:

Now, we know that, numerators and denominators should be proportional to be two fractions in proportion.

$\text { Then, } \frac{84}{128}=0.65625 \text { and } \frac{105}{160}=0.65625$

So numerators and denominators are in proportion, then given two fractions are proportion.

Reason 2:

Now, values of two fractions must be equal:

$\rightarrow \frac{84}{105}=\frac{128}{160} \rightarrow 84 \times 160=105 \times 128 \rightarrow 13440=13440$

So, values of two fractions are equal, then they are in proportion.

Hence, the given two fractions are in proportion.
