Question

Solve the proportion using cross products. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary. 0.5/5 = 0.03/n

Answer 1

$\dfrac{0.5}{5}=\dfrac{0.03}{n}\ \ \ |\text{cross multiply}\\\\0.5\cdot n=5\cdot0.03\\\\0.5n=0.15\ \ \ |\cdot2\\\\n=0.3$

Answer 2

Answer:

n = 0.3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the proportion using cross products, we will follow the steps below;

$\frac{0.5}{5}$  =  $\frac{0.03}{n}$

Cross - multiply

0.5 ×  n  =  0.03×5

0.5n = 0.15

Divide both-side of the equation by 0.5

$\frac{0.5 n}{0.5}$   = $\frac{0.15}{0.5}$

(On the left-hand side of the equation, 0.5 at the numerator will be cancel-out by 0.5 at the denominator leaving us with just n while on the right-hand side of the equation 0.15 will be divided by 0.5)

n = 0.3
