How do you solve proportions with ratios with a letter

SORRY if its too late. 

Proportions with variables: 

let's look at an example from my homework hehe 

.3:4=9:y 
First, you change the ratios to fractions. 
.3/4=9/y. 
4 times 9 is 36. I multiplied the numerator of 9/y and the denominator of .3/4. 
You also do this with the other numerators and denominators. .3 times y= 36. (Both equations have to equal the same number) if you don't know the answer, just do 36 divided by .3. The answer is 120. 
y=120

Answer please thanks

The common denominator is (x+2)(x-2)
notice that x²-4 is the difference of two square
when you solve it you get (x+2)(x-2). (x+2) can go into (x+2)(x-2).

1) A light bulb producing company states that its lights will last an average of 1200 hours with a standard deviation of 200 hou
Ronch [10]

The mean ( average ) is given as 1200 hours.

The standard deviation is 200, sample size is 100.

Find the standard error:

√(200^2 / 100) = 20

Now calculate the confidence interval. For 95% the Z number is 1.96

Multiply Z by the standard error:

1.96 x 20 =39.2

Now find the range that the mean should be within:

1200 - 39.2 = 1160.8

1200 + 39.2 = 1239.2

The samples should be between 1160.8 and 1239.2 for a 95% confidence interval.

Since the average was 1050, which is below 1160.8 the bulbs are not in compliance.

Answer:

Part A: 4/9

Part B: 12 students

Step-by-step explanation:

27 * 0.44444444 = 12 (this is the number of students who preferred snowboarding). So the fraction would be 12/27, which simplifies to 4/9.
