Lets check...
42/56 = 56/64
cross multiply
(56)(56) = (42)(64)
3136 = 2688...(incorrect)...these are not proportional
proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions
42/56 = 3/4
56/64 = 7/8
as u can see, they are not equivalent fractions...so they are not proportional

Answer: each girl received 30 stickers.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of stickers that the boys received.
Let y represent the number of stickers that the girls received.
The total number of children was 42. 2/3 of the children were boys. It means that the number of boys were
2/3 × 42 = 28
The number if girls would be
42 - 28 = 14
The total number of stickers that the school principal shared was 840. It means that
28x + 14y = 840- - - - - - - - -1
Each of the boys received the same number of stickers while each girl received twice as many as each boy. It means that
y = 2x
Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes
28x + 14 × 2x = 840
28x + 28x = 840
56x = 840
x = 840/56
x = 15
y = 2x = 15 × 2
y = 30
Answer:
The answer is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
To find this, follow the order of operations as laid out below.
120(2x - 2) = 240 ----> Divide both sides by 120
2x - 2 = 2 ----> Add 2 to both sides
2x = 4 ------> Divide both sides by 2
x = 2
The least common denominator is 70 because both 14 and 10 go into 70.
