Question

Can you please check my proportion problems and correct them? I will mark you brainlyest

Answer 1

OK.  I'll try.  There's not too many points at risk here.

3/5 =y  y=1/15  I don't understand what this means.
                       If 3/5 = y  then  y = 3/5 .

1/2 p = (1-3/10) 
1/2 p = 1.3          Multiply each side by  2.     p = 2.6 .

6w = 13.5      Divide each side by 6.    w = 2.25

4.2 q = 44.1  Divide each side by 4.2 .  q = 10.5       yay!

 4/7 b = 5/8    Multiply each side by 7.          4 b = 35/8
                     Then divide each side by 4.      b = 35/32  or  1 and 3/32
                                                                             or  1.09375

1-1/3 b = 8
  4/3 b = 8        Multiply each side by 3 .       4 b = 24
                      Then divide each side by 4 .     b = 6
