Which of the following solves the proportion 3/8 = x/24?

2 answers:

3 0

The answer is 9. If you multiply the denominator of the first fraction by 3, you get the denominator of the second fraction. To find the top number of the second fraction, you also have to multiply the numerator by 3. Therefore the answer would be 9.

3 0

24 / 8 = 3

This shows that 8 was multiplied by 3 to get 24.

3 * 3 = 9

Now, we know that 9 solves the proportion. (x = 9)

To check, we can simplify 9/24.

9/24 → 3/8

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!

Answer:

54 beads

Step-by-step explanation:

1 hexagon = 6

2 hexagons = 10

3 hexagons = 14

Based on the pattern shown above +4 you can create an equation from this to help support finding the amount.

y = 4x + 6

y - total amount

4x - amount that is added by

6 - initial amount for 1 hexagon

Based on this you plug in 12 into x and you will find the answer:

y = 4(12) + 6

= 48 + 6

= 54

If you need to check the work honestly drawing it out, but this equation can also be supported based on the 3rd diagram of hexagon, where the initial is 6 and then 4 are added each time afterwards!!!

Martin uses 5/8 of a gallon of paint to cover 4/5 of a wall. What is the unit rate at which Martin paints in walls per gallon?

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The unit rate is 32/25 Walls per gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gallons of paint used by Martin = 5/8 gallons

Portion of wall Martin wants to paint in pints = 4/5 wall.

Rate at which Martin paints the wall: Rate = Portion of wall covered/Paints Used.

Rate = 4/5 Gallons/5/8 Gallons = 32/25 Wall Gallons.
