Given:
The area model for
.
To find:
The value of
and the missing values in the area model.
Solution:
2.1 can be written as 2 and 0.1 on the left side of the area model.
3.2 can be written as 3 and 0.2 on the top of area model.
Area of the four parts of the area model are:




The complete area model is shown below.
After adding all areas of the area model, we get

Therefore, the value of
is 6.72 and the missing values of the area model are 0.3 and 0.02 respectively.
Most likely because there are more boys than girls but there could be an odd that a girl will be in the group since there is less girls and hs;es picking at random
Sent a picture of the solution to the problem (s). Proportions are a quick set up to find a part of two things being compared. You will use this method a lot in math and science.
