Question

Use the proportion x/z=6/5. COmplete each statement, Justify your answer.
10.) x/6=
11.) x+z/z=
12.)z/x=
13.) 5x=

THIS IS SO CONFUSING TO ME!!! PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Here are some rules of proportions:
If a/b = c/d is true, then
a/c = b/d, b/a = d/c, d/b = c/a are also true

If a/b = c/d, then
(a + b)/b = (c + d)/d

Answer 2

if x/z = 6/5 then x=6 and z=5 right?

Answer 3

what? I'm going to cry... I'm so lost

Answer 4

look at what the question says

Answer 5

x=6 so plug it in

Answer 6

so for one you put it as 6/6 because you plugged 6 in for x?

Answer 7

remember

x=6
z=5

10. 6/6=1
11.(6+5)/5 =2.2
12.5/6= 0.83
13.5(6) or 5*6=30

Answer 8

but it wants another proportion

Answer 9

If you look at the proportion written with fractions as I did above in the drawing it'll be easier to understand.

Answer 10

The first rule of poroprtions I wrote above shows that a proportion can be read in any direction.

Answer 11

ok then you would just use my fractions

Answer 12

Okay I got it thanks
