Because 1/2 = 3/6
therefore you have to multiply 1/6 by 3 to achieve that.
Answer:
The number of people going
Step-by-step explanation:
That is what can vary.
Given:
3 teaspoons of salt for every 5 cups of flour.
How much salt is needed for 15 cups of flour?
This is a proportion problem:
a/b = c/d where ad = bc
3/5 = x/15
3*15 = 5x
45 = 5x
45/5 = x
9 = x
C. 9 teaspoons of salt is needed for 15 cups of flour.
3/5 = 9/15
3*15 = 5*9
45 = 45
Answer: x = 10.6666666 or 10 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
6x + 8 = 72
- 8 -8
6x = 64
6x/6 = 64/6
x = 10.6666666 aka 10 2/3
The easiest way for me to do this is too set their heights to actual numbers. Say Wanda is 100 feet tall (which I know isn’t a thing, but 100 is always an easy number for percentages.) If will is 34% taller than 100 feet, 1% is 1 foot, so Will is 134 feet tall. 134 / 100 is 134%, so will’s height is 134% of Wanda/s height. Hope this helps!
