Answer:

B) because 18 times 100 is equal to 5 times x, which means that x is equal to

Step-by-step explanation:

B is the only statement that is true

If you use cross product property to solve these proportions B is the only one that is correct

A) 18/x and 5/100 x= 360 not 36

B) 18/x and 5/100 x=360

C) 18/100 and 5/x x = 27.7 not 36

D) 18/100 and 5/x x= 27.7 not 360

Daniel uses \large \frac{2}{3}cup of orange juice for every \large \frac{1}{4}cup of carrot juice to make his drink. Enter the n

USPshnik [31]

Answer:

$\dfrac{8}{3}\ \text{cups of orange juice}$ or $2\dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{cups of orange juice}$ is used

Step-by-step explanation:

Daniel uses the proportions of $\dfrac{2}{3}$ cups of orange juice and $\dfrac{1}{4}$ cups of carrot juice to make a mixed juice.

Now, in the question 1 cup of carrot juice is used. So 4 times of the proportion of the carrot juice is used. Accordingly 4 times of the cups of orange juice will be used.

$\dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{cups of orange juice}=\dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cups of carrot juice}\\\Rightarrow 4\times \dfrac{2}{3}\ \text{cups of orange juice}=4\times \dfrac{1}{4}\ \text{cups of carrot juice}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{8}{3}\ \text{cups of orange juice}=1\ \text{cup of carrot juice}$
