Answer:
■ = 7
Explanation:
Because there two ratios are proportional as a result of being equal.
To find the missing part of the ratio, cross multiply, and solve for ■ by converting them into their equivilent fractions.
i.e a : b = a/b.
So 4 : ■ becomes 4/■. And 8 : 14 becomes 8/14.
i.e a/b = c/d → b × c = a × d → bc = ad
Now 4/■ = 8/14 → ■ × 8 = 14 × 4 → 8■ = 56.
8■/8 = 56/8
1■ = 7
■ = 7
This method works for a missing part pretty much anywhere.
____________________
This is a little faster for ratios:
To find the value of the unknown part of the ratio,
just find the factor between two corresponding numbers, and apply that to the known number corresponding to the unknown part.
4 : ■ = 8 : 14
Notice that 4 corresponds to 8
So the factor between these is 2.
Since from 8 to 4 is a multiple of 1/2. 8 × 1/2 = 4, and 14 × 1/2 = ■.
Therefore ■ = 14 × 1/2 = 14/2 = 7
Matt is having a lemonade stand and he needs $60 for a school fundraiser. he already has $25, but he needs more. If hes selling lemonade for $0.50 each cup, write an equation that shows how much money he needs to get at least $60.
i dont know if you mean less than or greater than, or less than or equal to so sorry and i also dont know if this is right, but i hope it helps sorta :)
