6/24* 100= 25%. You multiply top ( 6 and 100) and divide to bottom (600 and 24) to get 25%.
Answers:
1.) 18 lemons
2.) 80 minutes
Explanation:
Porportions are a lot like fractions. For the first question, you can make the fraction 6/8, or 3/4 simplified. This means that for every 8 cups of water, you need 6 lemons.
Then, to find the amount of lemons you need if you have 24 cups of water, you need to think about what×8= 24. If we divide 24 by 8, we get 3, so if we multiply our fraction by 3/3, we should get the answer.
If we do 6/8 × 3/3, we get 18/24. This means that we need 18 lemons if we were to use 24 cups of water.
For the next question, our fraction 15/60, for 15 cakes baked in 60 minutes. Now we need to divide 20 cakes by 15.
This question is a little different from the first one because there will be a decimal involved. If we do 20/15, we get 1⅓. This means that this time, we will multiply 15/60 by (1⅓)/(1⅓).
If we multiply 60 by 1⅓, we get 80, which is the number of minutes needed to bake 20 cakes.
Hope this helps :)
3 1/2 pound = 7/2 pounds.
We know that the dog eats 7/2 (3.5) pounds every 21 days since there are 7 days in a week and Mr.Z only buys dog food every 3 weeks.
Set up a proportion. <u>3.5 lb</u> = <u> x </u><u>
</u> 21 days 365 days
<u>
</u>Cross multiply and divide. 3.5 lb x 365 days = 1277.5 / 21 days = 60.83 lb
