Question

Jana paid $48 for 4 tickets to a movie. How much would it cost for 8 tickets? I'm aware you could probably do this problem without much effort. But the point of today's assignment is to work on writing proportions correctly. Write the proportion in the box on the left. Write the answer in the box below.

Answer 1

Answer:

The cost would be $ 96

Explanation:

It can be written in two ways: as two equal fractions a/b = c/d; or using a colon, a:b = c:d .Based on the info. given, 1 ticket would be 12 dollars. If so it would original be, 1:12. ( if I'm wrong, I'll try better next time.

Answer 2

Answer:

96. (Proportions are down below)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the tickets are being doubled, just double the amount paid or divide 48 by 4 and multiply it by 8.

48 ÷ 4 = 12

12 × 8 = 96

If you'd like to write it as a proportion, here:

4/48 = 8/96
