Question 1: 10.5 tormatillos will make 18 ounces of enchilda sauce.
Question 2: It will print 38.5 pages in 7 minutes.
Question 3: b=9
Question 4: when y=18, x will be 12.
Question 5: Shayna can buy 9 cantaloupes if she has $21.
Step-by-step explanation:
Question #1: Solve the proportion: It takes 7 tomatillos to make 12 ounces of enchilada sauce. How many tomatillos does it take to make 18 ounces of enchilada sauce?
Ratio of tormatillos to enchilda sauce = 7:12
Let, x be the tormatillos.
New ratio of tormatillos to enchilda sauce = x:18
Using proportion;
Ratio of tormatillos to enchilda sauce :: New ratio of tormatillos to enchilda sauce
Product of mean = Product of extreme
Dividing both sides by 12
10.5 tormatillos will make 18 ounces of enchilda sauce.
Question #2: Solve the proportion: A printer can print 11 color pages in 2 minutes. How many color pages can the printer print in 7 minutes?
Ratio of page to time = 11:2
new pages = x
New ratio of pages to time = x:7
Using proportion,
Product of mean = Product of extreme
Dividing both sides by 2
It will print 38.5 pages in 7 minutes.
Question #3: Solve the proportion: 18\24=b\12
Given proportion is;
Using cross multiplication;
Dividing both sides by 24
b=9
Question #4: y and x have a proportional relationship, and y = 12 when x = 8. What is the value of x when y = 18?
x:y = 8:12
x:y = x:18
Proportion;
Product of mean = Product of extreme
Dividing both sides by 12
when y=18, x will be 12.
Question #5: Solve the proportion: Gabriella bought three cantaloupes for $7. How many cantaloupes can Shayna buy if she has $21?
Ratio of cantaloupes to price = 3:7
New ratio of cantaloupes to price = x:21
Using proportion;
Product of mean = Product of extreme
Dividing both side by 7
Shayna can buy 9 cantaloupes if she has $21.
