Cross multiply.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cross Multiply!

OpenStudy (linn99123):

so i multiply 4 and 11 ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! And if you want you can simplify it!

OpenStudy (linn99123):

i still dont understand i got 44 but there isnt and 44 on my answers :O

OpenStudy (linn99123):

im so stupid :[

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which One Do You Think IT Is? : - D

OpenStudy (linn99123):

im not shure :O

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Multiply 4 and 11. That answer is equal to the other product that you get when you multiply 8 and m

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just Take A Wild Guess!

OpenStudy (linn99123):

so i multiply 8 by each answer choice

OpenStudy (linn99123):

and chich ever one gets to 44 is my answer ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

44 is not the answer.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Let's try another approach. Look at the first fraction. The top is twice as much as the bottom. Do you see that?

OpenStudy (linn99123):

yes

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Make the other fraction like that. Make the top twice as much as the bottom.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4*11=44 8*m=8m 44=8m

OpenStudy (linn99123):

is ittle be 44/m

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Or in other words, the bottom is 1/2 the top

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Divide both 44 and 8m by 8.

OpenStudy (linn99123):

5.5 :D

OpenStudy (linn99123):

omg that was awsome i feel smart :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
