Answer:

5

Explanation:

Let the number equal x. Half the number is then

x

2

and the reciprocal of that is

2

x

The reciprocal of the number is

1

x

and half that is

1

Hello! For this you are just going to do this step by step, and remember to use PEMDAS. That is the order in which you should do the math. The abbreviation stands for Parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition and subtraction. So lets get started!

Answer:

1) $n = 84$

2) $n = 78$

3) $n = 24$

4) $n = 16$

5) $n = 35$

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve each proportion, we apply cross multiplication.

Question 1:

$\frac{5}{12} = \frac{35}{n}$

$5n = 35*12$

Simplifying both sides by 5

$n = 7*12 = 84$

Question 2:

$\frac{n}{52} = \frac{180}{120}$

$120n = 52*180$

Simplifying both sides by 20

$6n = 52*9$

Simplifying by 3

$2n = 52*3$

Simplifying by 2

$n = 26*3 = 78$

Question 3:

$\frac{18}{n} = \frac{21}{28}$

$21n = 18*28$

Simplifying both sides by 7

$3n = 18*4$

Simplifying both sides by 3

$n = 6*4 = 24$

Question 4:

$\frac{n}{4} = \frac{24}{6}$

$\frac{n}{4} = 4$

$n = 16$

Question 5:

$\frac{10}{16} = \frac{n}{56}$

$16n = 56*10$

Simplifying by 2, both sides

$8n = 56*5$

Simplifying by 8, both sides

$n = 7*5 = 35$
