need the answer choices ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thirty over twelve equals n over forty-five
twelve over thirty equals n over forty-five
twelve over n equals forty-five over thirty
twelve over thirty equals forty-five over n
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
let me show you how to solve a proportion...
30/12 = n/45
cross multiply
(12)(n) = (45)(30)
12n = 1350
now divide by 12 to get n by itself
12n/12 = 1350/12
n = 112.5
obviously this is not the correct answer because n does not equal 8.
you want to ry the next answer choice ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I need the answer in 5 mins
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
12/30 = n/45
30n = 540
n = 18 (no)
12/n = 45/30
45n = 360
n = 8 (BINGO, it is this one)
