Claire correctly solved the proportion x/4 = 36/16 for x using cross products to get the equation 16x = 144 and then dividing bo

th sides by 16 to get x =9 . She showed that she can use cross products to solve the proportion because she gets the same answer if the solves it as shown
what property allowed her to go from x/4= 36/16 to x/4 x = 36/16 x 4?

Answer:

The cross product property

Step-by-step explanation:

The cross product property also known as cross multiplication is a method in math that is most of the time used in solving problems involving ratios usually in a big X form across the equal sign between two ratios.

It is done by multiplying the numerator of the left ratio by the denominator of the right with an equal to the multiplication of the numerator of the right ratio by the denominator of the left.

When a grizzly bear hibernates, it's heart rate drops to 10 beats per minute, which is 20% of its normal value. What is a grizzl
IgorC [24]

Answer:

His normal heart rate is 50 beats per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since when it is hibernating it beats 10 times per minute and that is 20 % of the normal volume we can use a rule of 3 to find his normal herat rate. If 10 times per minutes is 20% of its normal volume then x times per minutes is 100%. So we have:

10 -> 20%

x -> 100%

10/x = 20/100

20x = 1000

x = 50 beats per minute

16 is 25% of what number
Sergio [31]
So the question is 16 is 25% of what number (x)

In math
"is" means equals
"of" means times

The question translates to

16 = 25% * x
16 = .25x
16/.25 = x
64 = x

x = 64

16 is 25% of 64

The table below shows points on the graphs of functions f andg
vodka [1.7K]

You see that

f(-2)=8=2\cdot 4=2 g(-2),\\ f(-1)=6=2\cdot 3=2 g(-1),\\ f(0)=8=2\cdot 4=2 g(0),\\ f(1)=14=2\cdot 7=2 g(1).

This rule gives you an oportunity to state that f(x)=2g(x). Therefore, g(x)=\dfrac{1}{2} f(x). Multiplying function f(x) by factor 1/2 you obtain function g(x) that is compression function f(x) in the y-direction.

Answer: compression function f(x) in the y-direction by factor 1/2.
