$1.32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how'd u get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.32. Why cant you use a calculator for this question or do mental math?

OpenStudy (across):

\[5\implies0.55\]\[12\implies x\] \[x=\frac{0.55\cdot12}{5}.\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Set it up as a proportion. 5/12 = .55/x read as 5 is to 12 as .55 is to x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you need to solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just do division

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whether you do it by division or by setting it up as a proportion, the steps are the same.
