Another volume question need help figuring out!
on this one, you want to set up a proportion
two fractions that are equal to each other
I'm not sure how to do that... I don't set the two volumes up as a fraction?
yes, actually, make a fraction of the two volumes, then set that equal to the areas, make sure you keep the big on top for both or vice versa
so like 512 mm^3/ 343 mm^ 3 = 192 mm^2/ v2 ... I think?
yep, then solve for what you called v
How do I solve for that? divide the 512 and 343? I don't have an exponent on my calculator.
no, and you don't need exponents. so, the trick with proportions is to use something called cross multiplying check it out here: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-seventh-grade-math/cc-7th-ratio-proportion/cc-7th-constructing-proportions/v/find-an-unknown-in-a-proportion
wait I think I do 192 * 512/342 (2/3)
I don't know...
you have \[\frac{512}{343}=\frac{192}{x}\] Solve for x
