The definition of a coefficient is the number BEFORE the variable. So in 76x^2, the coefficient is 76.<span>

Here, we can set up a proportion:
34 ÷ 3/4 = ? ÷ 1
34*1 = 34
34÷3/4 = the time needed to build one toyboat
34/3/4 = 45.3333333333
45.3 repeating is not a whole number, so we need to approximate.
45 is the closest whole number,
So.. a machine can paint 45 toy boats per hour.
I really hope that helped! :)
Ok, to solve this first you have to set up your proportion:
9/150=x/230
/ is a fraction
x= the number of vials it will take to treat 230 patients
in order to solve this, you have to cross multiply:
9 x 230= 2070
150 · x= 150x
so you get 150x=2070
then divide 2070 by 150
2070/150= 13.8
so it would take 13.8 vials of medicine to treat 230 patients
Sorry this is really sloppy but hope this helps!
