Question

Choose the value for x that makes the proportion true.

Answer 1

1/16 = x/64

we have to find x

so by applying cross multiplication, we get

64×1 = (x) × 16

so,

x = 4

Answer 2

Answer:

B. 4

Step-by-step explanation:

So,  we do 2 different steps here. I will show u both.

Step 1:

With this, we can divide 64 and 16 to get the number of ft.

So, as we know, 64 divided by 16 is 4. So, our answer would be 4ft aka B.

Step 2:

We can multiply all the numbers to see which one would make sense.

1 x 3 = 3 ft  16 x 3 = 48 in.

1/16 $\neq$ 3/64

-----------------

1 x 4 = 4 ft    16 x 4 = 64 in

1/16 = 4/64

---------------

5 x 1 = 5  16 x 5 = 80

1/16 $\neq$ 5/64

----------------

1 x 6 = 6    16 x 6 = 96

1/16 $\neq$ 6/64
