1) Proportion a.
7 : 28 = 2 : 8
That means that the ratio 7 / 28 is equal to the ratio 2 : 8.
You can verify the equality by simplifying to the simplest form:
7 : 28 = 1 / 4 simplest form
2 : 8 = 1 / 4 simplest form, then the proportion is right.
In words that is 7 is to 28 as 1 is to 4 ← answer
2) Proportion b.<span>. 3⁄1 = 18⁄6
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>In words: 3 is to q as 18 is to 6 ← answer
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>You can verify the proportion by simplifiying the second fraction:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span> 18 / 6 = [18 / 6] / [ 6 / 6] = 3 / 1
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>3) Proportion c. 9 : 72 = 2 : 16
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>In words: 9 is to 72 as 2 is to 16 ← answer
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Proove the proportion:
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span> 9 / 72 = 1 / 8
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span> 2 / 16 = 1 / 8
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>4) Proportion d. 81⁄9 = 45⁄5</span>
In words: 81 is to 9 as 45 is to 5 ← answer
Proove it:
81 / 9 = 9
45 / 9 = 9
<span>Quartiles are generally more reliable for judging outliers than mean and standard deviations for 2 reasons. The mean is simply the average of all of the numbers, meaning that an outlier can easily be obscured by the masses. Standard deviation is a better method, however only going over by one standard deviation in either direction would also mask an outlier. A strong outlier however will pull a quartile farther in that direction than would normally be expected.</span>
25 ÷ (6 - 1) = 25 ÷ 5 = 5, she saved 5 nickels,
5 nickels = 5 × 5 = 25 cents = $0.25
5 + 25 = 30, she saved 30 dimes, 30 dimes = 300 cents = 3 dollars.
3 + 0.25 = $3.25, she saved $3.25 in all.
He saved 30 dollars through babysitting. My math is:
84 / 14 = 6
6 x 5 = 30
I hope this helps!
4x + 9 = 2x - 1
4x - 2x = -1 - 9
2x = -10
x = -10/2
x = -5 <===
