Set up a proportion:

The numerator represents fluid ounces of milk, and the denominator represents milligrams of calcium.
Simplify the first fraction to make multiplication easier:


Cross multiply the fractions:


Divide both sides by 135 to get x by itself:

2.1 fluid ounces of milk provide 72.5 milligrams of calcium.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
y = dresser height
x = mirror height
x+y=6.28
x-y = 1.28
x = 1.28+y
x+y=6.28
(1.28+y)+y=6.28
2y = 5
y = 2.5
Dresser = 2.5 ft
Dresser + Mirror = 2.5 + 1.28 = 6.28 ft
Mirror = 1.28 ft
Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
You want the smaller of the two factors of 896 that have the ratio 8:7.
<h3>Setup</h3>
Let x represent the smaller of the two factors (the one we want to find). Then the larger factor is (8/7)x, and their product is ...
x(8/7)x = 896
(8/7)x² = 896
<h3>Solution</h3>
Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x², we have ...
x² = (7/8)(896) = 784
x = √784 = 28 . . . . . . . . take square root
The smaller of the two numbers is 28.

<em>Additional comment</em>
The larger is (8/7)(28) = 32.
