Answer:
125 percent
Step-by-step explanation:
The proportion is
40 percent
------ = ----------
32 100
Using cross products
40*100 =32 * percent
Divide by 32
4000/32 = percent
125 = percent
Similar rectangles have or form similar ratios. Hence to solve this, you have to get the ratio of the measurements:
Let N be the length of the similar rectangle
5/7 = 15/N
5(N) = 7(15) -> cross multiply
5N = 105
5N/5 = 105/5 -> divide both sides of the equation by 5
N = 21
Therefore, 21 meters in the length of the similar rectangle
To check -
5/7 = 15/21 (cross multiply)
105 = 105
Verbal, of course. Wider range of numbers
Answer:
14oz soup/ person
Step-by-step explanation:
the answer would be 14oz of soup/person
multiply 7 (cans of soup) by 16 (oz per can)
7*16=112
divide 112 (oz of soup total) by 8 (number of people feeding)
112/8=14
