So the fraction would be 23/35 are boys. If you do the division (23 ÷ 35) the answer is around 0.657.
That converted into a percentage (×100) is 65.7%
Answer:
Linear pairs are congruent
That's the answer
solving proportions is simply a matter of stating the ratios as fractions, setting the two fractions equal to each other, cross-multiplying, and solving the resulting equation. You'll probably start out by just solving proportions, like this:
<span><span><span>Find the unknown value in the proportion: </span><span>2 : x = 3 : 9.</span></span><span>2<span> :</span> x = 3<span> :</span> 9</span>First, I convert the colon-based odds-notation ratios to fractional form:.Then I solve the proportion:<span>
</span><span>9(2) = </span><span>x(3)</span> <span>
1</span><span>8 = 3x</span><span>
</span><span>6 = x</span></span><span><span><span>Find the unknown value in the proportion: </span><span>(2x + 1) : 2 = (x + 2) : 5</span></span><span>(2x + 1)<span> :</span> 2 = (x + 2)<span> :</span> 5</span><span><span> ADVERTISEMENT</span><span> </span></span>First, I convert the colon-based odds-notation ratios to fractional form:Then I solve the proportion:<span>
</span><span>5(2x + 1) = 2(x + 2)</span><span>
</span><span>10x + 5 = 2x + 4</span><span>
</span><span>8x = –1</span><span>
</span><span>x = –1/<span>8</span></span></span>
