<h3>Answer:  </h3><h3>speed of train A = 44 mph</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

x = speed of train A

y = speed of train B

"train A travels 4/5 the speed of train B" (I'm assuming "train one" is supposed to read "train B"). So this means x = (4/5)y

distance = rate*time

d = x*7

d = (4/5)y*7 = (28/5)y represents the distance train A travels

d = y*7 = 7y represents the distance train B travels

summing those distances will give us 693

(28/5)y + 7y = 693

5*(  (28/5)y + 7y ) = 5*693

28y + 35y = 3465

63y = 3465

y = 3465/63

y = 55

Train B's speed is 55 mph

4/5 of that is (4/5)y = (4/5)*55 = 4*11 = 44 mph

Train A's speed is 44 mph

Answer:

1. 4/12 , 6/8

2. 16/12 , 3/4*

3. 3/2 , 15/14

4. 10/16 , 5/8

10/16 = 5/8

Which ratio forms a proportion with 9/15?

1. 6/10

2. 16/21

3. 36/50

4. 45/70

9/15 = 3/5 which is 6/10

A textbook weighs 2.5 pounds. How many kilograms does the textbook weighs? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a pound. 1 kg = 2.2 lb

1. 1.1 kg

2. 1.8 kg

3. 5.5 kg

4. 4.7 kg

2.5 lbs * (1 kg/2.2 lbs) =

Solve the proportion using number sense. 2/8 = x/ 48

1. 6

2. 12

3. 16

4. 8

8 * 6 = 48

so what is 2 times 6 ?

or another way

1/4 * 48 = 12

Solve the proportion using cross products. 18/20 = k/110

1. 99

2. 122

3. 3.3

4. 2.9

20 k = 18*110

2 k = 18 *11

k = 9 * 11

Are the ratios 8/12 and 10/25 proportional? Explain

8/12 = 2/3

10/15 = 2/3 so no way 10/25 is 2/3
