Convert from mixed number to decimal number. To do it, divide the numerator of the fraction by the denominator and add the result to the whole number part. Then:

$3\frac{3}{4}\ lb=(3+0.75)\ lb=3.75\ lb$

Convert from fraction to decimal number. To do it you need to divide the numerator by the denominator. Then, you get:

$\frac{5}{8}lb=0.625\ lb$

Let be "x" the number of bricks in the bag.

Based on the information given in the exercise, you can set up the following proportion:

$\frac{1}{0.625}=\frac{x}{3.75}$

Finally, you must solve for "x" in order to find its value. This is:

$(3.75)(\frac{1}{0.625})=x\\\\x=6$

Variable y varies directly with variable x, and y = 6 when x = 9.

lesantik [10]

X and y are proportional hence when y is multiplied by a number, x is multiplied by the same number.

18=6*3 hence when y=18,x=9*3=27

x=27
