What is the solution to the proportion?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n/18 = 5/9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

options are.. n = 2.5 B. n = 5 C. n = 10 D. n = 15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You start by cross multiplying, does that sound familiar?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it does

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay good. Then you would multiply 9 * n and set that equal to 18 *5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you should get 9n=90. And divide both sides by 9 and you should get your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be n=10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup that's your answer dear :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :)
