A:b = 8:5 b:c = 3:4
since both sides have b. make b the same. multiply the left by the right side b value of 3 and multiply the right  by the left side b value of 5.
3(a:b)  and 5(b:c)
3 (8:5) and 5(3:4)
24:15          15:20
now that both sides have the same b value
a:b:c = 24:15:20

Given:
1 inch : 18 kilometers

Let us use the ratio and proportion method:

a:b = c:d where ad = bc

0.8 inches is <u>14.4 kilometers</u>

1 : 18 = 0.8 : x
x = 0.8 * 18
x = 14.4 km

1.4 inches is <u>25.2 kilometers</u>

1: 18 = 1.4 : x
x = 18 * 1.4
x = 25.2 km

2.1 inches is <u>37.8 kilometers</u>

1 : 18 = 2.1 : x
x = 18 * 2.1
x = 37.8 km

Do more than 50 percent of the children in a certain group have brown hair?
babymother [125]

Answer:

What we know is that 30% of the group have brown hair and are girls. It means that in the other 70% we have the boys with brown hair, the other boys and the other girls.

In the case all the girls have brown hair, the 70% remaining would be boys. So 70% of then would have brown hair. (0.7*0.7=0.49 -> 49% of the children would be brown hair) so 49% (boys) and 30% (girls) are more than 50%..

Now, let's suppouse that 90% of the group are girls. It means 10% are boys and 70% of that 10% (=7%) are the boys in the group that have brown hair. Now 7% + 30% of the children have brown hair, wich isn't more than the half.

We have explained with two extreme cases that the information is not enough for making a precise answer
