You can do this by converting this into a ratio or a fraction

Ratio:
1 lb for 4 guinea pigs
1:4
If he was 8 lbs for x guinea pigsit would be

1:4
8:x

Multiply the first ration until the one is equal to 8, then whatever the four turns into is x

Fraction: (easier way)

1/4 (1lb for 4 guinea pigs)
8/x (8lb for x guinea pigs)
1/4 = 8/x
Multiply one until it is equal to 8
Correspond that to the 4

1*8 = 8
4*8 = 32

32 guinea pigs

The data shown in the table below can be
nignag [31]
Hello there! The missing y-values are 12, 14, and 16.

Given all our x-values and two additional y-values, we can see that multiplying the x-value by 2 gives us the y-value. This is shown when x is 5 and 9, because multiplying 5 by 2 gave us 10, and multiplying 9 by 2 gave us 18. Because of this rule, we can multiply each given x-value by 2 to receive our y-value. Once solving, we also notice that the y-values all add by 2 to get the next factor as the data number increases. Hope this helps!

What is the value of "x" if 25^2 = x
olga55 [171]
The value of x would be the answer of 25^2 which means it is squared and squaring means a number times itself, so, therefore you have 25x25 which would give you the answer of 625 meaning x=625
