Answers:
1.) 18 lemons
2.) 80 minutes
Explanation:
Porportions are a lot like fractions. For the first question, you can make the fraction 6/8, or 3/4 simplified. This means that for every 8 cups of water, you need 6 lemons.
Then, to find the amount of lemons you need if you have 24 cups of water, you need to think about what×8= 24. If we divide 24 by 8, we get 3, so if we multiply our fraction by 3/3, we should get the answer.
If we do 6/8 × 3/3, we get 18/24. This means that we need 18 lemons if we were to use 24 cups of water.
For the next question, our fraction 15/60, for 15 cakes baked in 60 minutes. Now we need to divide 20 cakes by 15.
This question is a little different from the first one because there will be a decimal involved. If we do 20/15, we get 1⅓. This means that this time, we will multiply 15/60 by (1⅓)/(1⅓).
If we multiply 60 by 1⅓, we get 80, which is the number of minutes needed to bake 20 cakes.
Hope this helps :)

Answer:
y = - 
Step-by-step explanation:
= 
( cross- multiply )
4y = - 7 ( divide both sides by 4 )
y = -
2.) Given: There are 30 students. 24 are wearing sneakers.
Work: We can figure this out by finding the exact percentage of sneaker-wearers in the class.
To find the percentage, you do 24/30. 24/30 is equal to 80%.
Answer: Joe is wrong. The percentage of students wearing sneakers is 80% and not 70%.
3.) Given: There are 40 people total. 2 women per 3 men.
Work: 2:3 women to men
If we multiply both by 10, we will get 50 people in total.
20:30 = 50
So we need to shrivel this down to 40 by taking out 5 on both sides of the ratio.
50 - 5 - 5 = 15:25 = 40
But the ratio need to be divisible by 2 because of the 2 women that are needed per 3 men. We can do this by moving over one human to the men’s side.
There are 14 women and 26 men. I didn’t use any of the strategies there listed because I don’t even remember what those are. I’m in grade 9. I would say that the ratio table works best because I just used ratios...
4.) Given: Find simplified fraction of silicon. 100%.
Work: Add all things up to find out the denominator for the fraction. They will equal 100.
So the fraction is 28/100.
We can divide this fraction by 4.
7/25
This is the simplified form.
Answer: 7/25
