Solve for the variable in the following proportion.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kryger [21]2 years ago

The solution for the variable a is 12.5 ⇒ 3rd answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Proportional relationships are relationships between two variables

where their ratios are equivalent

  • If x is proportion to y , then \frac{x}{y} = k, wher k is a constant
  • If x is proportion to y, then \frac{x_{1}}{y_{1}}=\frac{x_{2}}{y_{2}}

∵ 4 is to 5 as 10 is to a

∵ These are proportion

∴ \frac{4}{5}=\frac{10}{a}

- Use cross multiplication to find a

∵ 4 × a = 5 × 10

∴ 4 a = 50

- Divide both sides by 4

∴ a=\frac{50}{4}

∴ a = 12.5

The solution for the variable a is 12.5

When you divide with negative exponents, you divide the rational numbers like normal and then you add the exponents.
Doss [256]

Answer:

the same as multiplying them, except you're doing the opposite: subtracting where you would have added and dividing where you would have multiplied. If the bases are the same, subtract the exponents. Remember to flip the exponent and make it positive, if needed.

Rzqust [24]

Correct Question:

He counts 18 female students, 16 male students, and 6 teachers. There are

720 people in the auditorium. Consider the probability of selecting one person

at random from the auditorium.

Which of these statements are true?

Choose all that apply.

A:  The probability of selecting a teacher is 6%.

B : The probability of selecting a student is 85%.

C : The probability of selecting a male student is 32%.

D : The probability of selecting a female student is 45%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option B  and D are correct because

The total number of people in one cross section = 18 + 16 + 6 = 40.

A = The probability of selecting a teacher is = (6/40)x100 = 15 % not equal to 6 %

B = The probability of selecting a male student is = (34/40)x100 = 85%

C = The probability of selecting a male student is = (16/40)x100 = 40 % not equal to 32 %

D : The probability of selecting a female student is = (18/40)x100= 45%
