Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
5*10^3=5*1000=5000
5*10^4=5*10000=50000
So, what it is saying in words is 180 is to x as 12 is to 24. So, determine what relates the second half of the problem, which would be 12 is half of 24. Therefore, 12 times 2 is 24. So, x is 360 because 180 times two is 360.
Answer:
14x
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Collect like terms by adding their coefficients
(11+3)x
Step 2: Add the numbers
14x
This sets up as a very commonly used proportion.
90 oz / 18.95 = 1 oz / x Cross multiply
90 x = 18.95 Divide by 90
x = 18.95 / 90
x = 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
So each ounce of shampoo costs 0.21 dollars or 21 cents.
This is a very handy way to check best deals. Stores have trained us for years to believe that the more we buy of a brand, the better the price. It isn't always true. Sometimes buying the smaller quantity is the better deal. There is only one way to be sure and that's to do a proportion like this one.
Try this is an example. The same company makes a smaller container of shampoo of 45 oz for 9.15. How much is 1 oz and which is the better deal? You should get 0.20333 dollars so this is marginally (just) the better deal.
Answer: 6
Step-by-step explanation:
To get 3/4 miles to 1 mile we must take the reciprocal of the number and multiply it.
×
We need to multiply the 4 1/2 ounces by 4/3 too
×
4 1/2 ounces per 3/4 miles
6 ounces per 1 mile
