Lets check...
42/56 = 56/64
cross multiply
(56)(56) = (42)(64)
3136 = 2688...(incorrect)...these are not proportional
proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions
42/56 = 3/4
56/64 = 7/8
as u can see, they are not equivalent fractions...so they are not proportional
Yoy multiply 55 and 99 and get 5000 and than you times it an get your answer
Answer:
x= 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Quotient means divide, increased means add
x/3 + 12 =20
Subtract 12 from each side
x/3 +12-12 = 20-12
x/3=8
Multiply each side by 3
x/3 * 3 =8*3
x= 24
Answer:
We'll use the variable x to represent last year's price. First, we have to set up an equation:
We get this equation because $13.25 is 6% MORE than last year's price, meaning we need to add the original price to the increase. Next, we combine like terms and solve for x:
Last year's price was $12.50.
