Answer:

k = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1:  Cross multiply</u>

k/6 = 15/18

k(18) = 6(15)

<em>18k = 90</em>

<u>Step 2:  Divide both sides by 18</u>

18k / 18 = 90 / 18

<em>k = 5</em>

Answer:  k = 5

<u>Another way to do it is to multiply both sides by 6</u>

k/6 * 6 = 15/18 * 6

k = 90 / 18

<em>k = 5</em>

Answer: 5

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for <em>k</em> in the given proportion, we use the means-extremes property. The product of the extremes, (k)(18), equals the product of the means, (6)(15).

So we have (k)(18) or 18k = (6)(15) or 90.

Now we have the equation 18k = 90.

Dividing both sides by 18, <em>k = 5</em>.

It's a good idea to check the answer in these types of problems so if we plug a 5 back in for <em>k</em> in the original proportion, we have \frac{(5)}{6}= \frac{15}{18} which is a true statement since 15/18 reduces to 5/6.

How do I do these please help
AfilCa [17]
Your equation for number one is 600,788,188/760,507,625 = x/100
After cross multiplying you will get 760,507,625x = 60,078,818,800
Then you will divide by <span>760,507,625 to isolate the varible to get 78.99 = x.

Your equation in number two is 80/143 = x/100 because when you subtract 143  by 63 you get 80, the amount of males in the room. Then you cross multiply to get, 143x = 8000. Then you would divide both sides by 143 to isolate the varible to get 55%</span>
