For two ratios to form a proportion they have to be equal.
To see if two ratios are equal we express them in their simplest form.
In this case we notice that in the first ratio both numbers are multiples of five, then:
In the second case we notice that both numbers are multiples of 2, then:
Since both ratios can be simplified to the same final ratio, they form a proportion.
It would be 3 pounds. A pound is 16 oz so 48 divided by 16 would be 3 lbs
Answer:
3) 8
4) 5.25 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
3) cross multiply:
36 × 10 = 360
45 × x = 45x
equate them both:
360 = 45x
divide both sides by 45
360 ÷ 45 = 8
x = 8
4) 8 people : 3 cups of flour
14 people : how many cups?
14 ÷ 8 = 1.75
to get from 8 people to 14 people we multiply by 1.75, so do the same thing to the 3 cups:
3 × 1.75 = 5.25 cups
Answer:
192
Step-by-step explanation:
-3(-4(2) - 7(8))
= -3(-8 - 56)
= -3(-64)
= 192
*Negative x negative = positive
