Answer:

The wrong in Rafael reason is that 3/6 = 4/8 = 1/2 pizza

Step-by-step explanation:

* <em>Lets explain how to solve the problem</em>

- When we have a quantity we can divided it to many equivalent

 fractions

- Equivalent fractions means fractions equal each other

- We can find the equivalent fraction by multiply or divide the two

 terms of the fraction by the same number

- Ex: We can divide a circle into two equal parts each part is 1/2 the

 circle, if we multiply each term of the fraction by 2 (up and down)

 then we will have 2/4 which is equivalent to 1/2 the circle

- Then we can divide the circle by 2 parts with many equivalent fractions

 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = ..................

* <em>Lets solve the problem</em>

- Rafael wanted to order half a medium pizza

- The medium pizza could be cut into 6 or 8 slices

∵ The half of 6 is 3/6

∵ The half of 8 is 4/8

- <em>Lets simplify the two fraction</em>

∵ 3/6 = 1/2 by dividing up and down by 3

∵ 4/8 = 1/2 by dividing up and down by 4

∴ There is no difference between the two orders, both of them

   equal half the pizza

∴ The wrong in Rafael reason is that 3/6 = 4/8 = 1/2 pizza

Can you help me out on this question?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

4. x= 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the problem like this:

Since 3 is proportional to 6 and 9 is proportional to x, we set up a proportion.

3/9 = 6/x  

We then use cross-multiplication to solve for x.
