What is the solution of the proportion? 6/a = 18/27

Mathematics
2 answers:
Marta_Voda [28]3 years ago

Answer:

a=9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this proportion, we have to get the variable, a, by itself.

First, cross multiply.

6/a=18/27

Multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second, and the numerator of the second by the denominator of the first.

a*18=6*27

18a=162

Now, 18 and a are being multiplied. In order to get a by itself, perform the opposite of what is being done. They are being multiplied, so the opposite would be division. Divide both sides by 18.

18a/18=162/18

a=162/18

a=9

So, the proportion, with 9 substituted in for a, will be:

6/9=18/27

Dana can type nearly 90 words per minute. Use this information to find the number of hours it will take her to type 2.6 x 105 wo
Vlad1618 [11]

Dana can type 90 words per minute.

Since, 1 minute = \frac{1}{60} hours

Therefore, number of words she can type = \frac{90}{\frac{1}{60}}

                                                                      = 90×60

                                                                      = 5400 words per hour

If she types 2.6\times 10^5 words in 'x' hours.

Number of words Dana types with the given speed in 'x' hours = Speed of typing × Time

= 5400\times x

Therefore, 5400\times x =2.6\times 10^5

5400x=260000

x=\frac{260000}{5400}

x=48.15 hours

Therefore, Dana types 2.6\times 10^5 words in 48.15 hours.
