P r o p o r t i o n s

3:4 = 7

3/198 = 7/x

solve for x using cross multiplying

3/198 = 7/x

198(7) = 3x
1386 = 3x
/3         /3
   462 = x

Therefore, there are 462 workers.

Proof:

3/198 = 4/x
198(4) = 3x
792 = 3x
/3        /3
264 = x

264 + 198 = 462.

264 / 4 = 66
198 / 3 = 66
462 / 7 = 66

4 &lt; 4x- 16<br> Please answer!
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

First you need to get your variable(x) by itself.

You do that by adding 16 to both sides of the greater than sign.

The 16 cancels or goes away. and 16 + 4 =20.

Your new equation is 20<4x

Finally you divide 20 by 4 to get 5

Your answer is 5<x or x>5.

Which statement would be true if you evaluate the expression (560x70) ÷10
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

none

Step-by-step explanation:

No choice is correct.

The original expression has 560 x 70, the product of 560 and 70 inside the parentheses.

(560 x 70) ÷ 10 is 10 times smaller than 560 x 70

None of the choices show 560 x 70. They show 560 + 70 and 560 - 70.

Answer: none

What is the answer and how do I solve it?
vichka [17]
The lengths of the rectangles are 7 and 12 respectively.  Form the ratio 7/12.  The widths of the rects. are x and 5 respectively.  Form the ratio x/5.  Now equate these two ratios:

7       x
--- = ---
12     5

Solve this for x.  One way to do this would be to cross-multiply, obtaining 12x = 35, and solving this result for x.  x will be a fraction.  Write the numerator and denominator in the boxes given.
