Take bus=5 times walk
b=5w
b+w=24
sub 5w for b
5w+w=24
6w=24
divide both sides by 6
w=4
sub back
b=5w
b=5(4)
b=20
bus-walk=20-4=16
answer is 16 more take the bus than walk
Answer:
Both proportions are equivalent.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given two proportions
and
. We are asked to find why the solutions to our given proportions are equal.
We can solve proportions by cross multiplying them.
After cross multiplying our both proportions we will get same equation that is:




Since we get same equation after cross multiplying both proportions, therefore, the solutions to the given proportions would be same.

Answer:
p = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The usually recommended procedure for solving a proportion is to "cross multiply", then divide by the coefficient of the variable. (Solve the remaining one-step equation.)
<h3>Cross multiply</h3>
This means multiply both sides of the equation by the product of the denominators:
(15/6)(6p) = (10/p)(6p) . . . . "cross multiply"
15p = 60 . . . . . . simplify
<h3>Second step</h3>
Now, divide by the coefficient of the variable.
15p/15 = 60/15
p = 4
The solution is p = 4.

<em>Additional comment</em>
If the variable is in the <em>numerator</em> of the proportion, using cross multiplication, you will find that you end up multiplying and dividing by the other denominator. To solve it in that case, you only need to multiply by the denominator under the variable.

For example, to solve ...
2/5 = p/10
you only need to multiply by 10. You don't need to multiply by 50, then divide by 5.

Any proportion can be written 4 ways:

This suggests another strategy: invert the whole proportion, then solve it as one with p in the numerator:
6/15 = p/10 ⇒ p = 10(6/15) = 4
