Question

In a foreign country, half of 5 = 3. Based on that same proportion, what's one-third of 10

Answer 1

In a foreign country, half of 5 = 3. That means 2.5 = 3.
2.5 : 3 is our ratio / proportion.

1/3 of 10 means 3.33.

That means we have to solve for x.
2.5 : 3
3.33 : x

2.5x = 3.33*3
2.5x = 10
x = 4

Answer 2

wrong it is 2. gotcha.

Answer 3

I don't think so.

Answer 4

2. (or maybe 288 if life is horrible) So, 48/2(9+3) = 48/2(12)=48/24=2. Unless you go 48/2(9+3) = 48/2(12)=24(12)=288, in which case, life IS horrible. I did fall into the rabbit hole.... this question is mean. mean but enlightening!
