could you check this for me?
Which of the following forms a proportion with fourteen over eighteen? is it 12/16
you can check it by cross multiplying
\(\large \frac{14}{18} = \frac{12}{16}\)
so would i just cross multiply the answers for the question?
cross multiply
you should get same number both sides
but what would be the outcome like how would i know if its a proportion with fourteen over eighteen?
then oly it forms a proportion
cross multiply above, and see wat u get both sides
its not i got 224 and 216
Yes ! so it wont form a proportion. reject !
like this, test all ur other options, see for which u get same number both sides.
Well i just did all of them and none of the were the same...
Let me redo them
ok :) what are your other options ?
Okay its 14/18 x 35/45 and they both came out to 630, i must have done something wrong the first time I did the answer :D
wow ! good work :))
Thank you! thanks for all the help! :D
np you're wlcme :)
Wait, could you help me with one more thing? If so do you want me to open another question or can we just do it here?
sure :) we can do it here...
Okay so the question says Match each pair of equivalent ratios... okay so it says 10/25 would it be 2:5 because 5 can go into ten 2 times and because 5 can go into 25 five times.. is this correct?
yes thats correct !
okay and the next one says 6 to 8, would it be 3/4?
correct :D looks these are too easy for you to solve :)
haha, well the next one i dont understand really :p
lets see
it says 13/20 and the answers are 6 to 16 and 65%, just from looking at it i dont think 6/16 can do anything with 13/20 so i think it would be 65% but could you explain it to me?
you're right ! its 65 %
But why is it 65%
13 is 65% of 20
lets see this from reverse :- 65% = ?
65% = 65/100
simplify
0.65?
leave it in fraction form
65% = 65/100 5 goes in 65 how many times ?
5 goes in 100 how many times ?
13 times and 5 goes into 100 20 times so it would be 13/20 in simplest form
Is that right! :D
thats it !
Yay!! :D thank you so much!!!!
good job !! yw :)
you can also do it in direct way like below :- \(\frac{13}{20} = \frac{13}{20}\times 100 \% \) \( = ?\)
