First we need to have same units before comparing them. That is, either both of them are in cm or both of them are in mm. So if we need to convert 12.5 cm to mm, we know that 1 cm =10 mm. So we have to find out how many mm are in 12.5 cm. And let 12.5 cm =x mm. So to find the value of x , we set a proportion and solve for x. That is
The units cancel out and we do cross multiplication. That is
x=125
So 12.5 cm =125 mm. Therefore the correct proportion is C.
<u>Answer-</u>
2, 4, and 8 people will need 1, 2, 4 pounds of turkey respectively.
<u>Solution-</u>
Given in the question, number of pounds of turkey varies directly with the number of people, i.e as the number of people increases or decreases, the pound of turkey also increases or decreases.
Taking,
x = number of people,
y = pounds of turkey.
This condition can be represented as,
As given in the question, when x = 6 y = 3
Now, putting the values of k in the equation, the equation becomes
Now, we can get the values of y or number of pounds of turkey needed by putting the given x or number of people.
All the calculations are shown in the attached table.
