To solve this, it is easiest to set up a proportion, letting x represent the number that we don't know.

2/10 = x/5

Now, we can use cross products to simplify this proportion.  Cross products sets the products of the numerator and denominator of separate fractions equal to one another.  It results in the equation:

(5)(2) = (10)(x)

Let's multiply out these numbers to further simplify the equation.

10 = 10x 

Finally, we have to divide both sides by 10, to get our variable x alone

x = 1

Therefore, 2 tenths is equal to 1 fifth.

Emily spends $28 on food. This amount of 4/9 of her allowance, what is Emily’s allowance?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

$63

Step-by-step explanation:

so we want to find 9/9 of her allowance, which is 100%

we could use a proportion:

let 'a' = full allowance

\frac{28}{1} ÷ \frac{4}{9} = \frac{a}{1} ÷ \frac{9}{9}

when we divide fractions we multiply by the reciprocal to get:

28 x 9/4 = a

a = 252/4

a = 63
