U/9 = 8/12 u = 6
Step 1: Cancel the common factor (4)
u = 2
—- —-
9 3
Step 2: multiply both sides by 9
9u 2 * 9
—- = ——-
9 3
Step 3: simplify
2 *9 = 18
18 ÷ 3 = 6
u = 6

Answer:
2 1/2 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
A proportion says the ratio of one thing to another is the same for different amounts. Here, we want cups, so we can use the proportion ...
cups/people = 2/12 = x/15 . . . . . where x is the number we want to find
Multiplying by 15 gives ...
x = 15(2/12) = 5/2 = 2 1/2
You will need 2 1/2 cups of zucchini to feed 15 people with the same recipe.
X=30
Put in proportions x/45 = 18/27.
Cross multiply and get 27x= 45 x 18
Or 27X = 810.
Next, divide by 27 on both sides to get X=30.
Answer:
Options 1 and 4 are arithmetic
Step-by-step explanation:
Arithmetic means that you are adding or subtracting a number in a sequence.
For option 1, we are adding 2 every time.
-3 + 2 = -1 -1 + 2 = 1 1 + 2 = 3
For option 4, we are subtracting 7 every time.
32 - 7 = 25 25 - 7 = 18 18 - 7 = 11
Option 2 is geometric. Geometric means you are multiplying or dividing by a number in a sequence.
2 * 3 = 6 6 * 3 = 18 18 * 3 = 54
Option 3 is actually quadratic. This is similar to a arithmetic, except instead, the amount added to the number is multiplied by 2 every time.
1 + 2 = 3 (2 + 2 = 4) 3 + 4 = 7 (4 + 4 = 8) 7 + 8 = 15
