What you are doing with proportions most the time is solving for a variable which in this example I will use an x. You have to do something called cross multiplying. now look at number 21. when you cross multiply you multiply the number of the top part of the fraction on the left side to the bottom part of the fraction on the right side. In that example 1 × 36 = 36. now write 36 = 16x since you have to cross multiply the other parts of the fraction. Then you would divide both sides of the equation by 16. I will make a mixed fraction for this example. 2 4/16 which simplified equals 2 1/4

Roderick wants to draw a circle for which the numerical value of the circumference is greater than the value of the area. Which

Dima020 [189]

The best way to justify which answers are correct are to calculate the circumference and the area for each of the circles with the given radii. I organized this information into a chart.

Circumference | Area

1/2 3.14 0.785

1 6.28 3.14

1 1/2 9.42 7.065

2 12.56 12.56

2 1/2 15.7 19.625

The first three choices will result in a numerical value for the radius that is smaller than the area.
