@rosebud4612flvs Please do not give answers, it's against OpenStudy's Code-of-Conduct. We are here to guide the user to the answer, so we need his participation. http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct Plus your answer is incorrect.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I'm new. No need to freak out.

OpenStudy (linn99123):

how would i do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not freaking out, I'm just telling you the rules :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plug in 18 / 21 in your calculator, tell me what you get.

OpenStudy (linn99123):

1.1666666667 ? idk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just plug in the other number and see which one gets the same thing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Um, no that doesn't work.. Let's just cross multiply and see if we get equal sides. \(\dfrac{18}{21} = \dfrac{1}{3}\) Cross multiply 18 * 3 and 21 * 1

OpenStudy (linn99123):

54/21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OR try looking for a number that has 18 and 21 as a multiple. Since 18 and 21 are 3 digits apart (21-18=3), the highest number you can try out is 3. If 18 and 21 are a multiple of 3, divided them by 3. If they are multiple of 2 divide them by 2...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

54 = 21 Actually So 52 does not equal 21, so 1/3 is incorrect. \(\dfrac{18}{21} = \dfrac{30}{35}\) 18 * 35 and 21 * 30

OpenStudy (linn99123):

its 630

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, for both..18 * 35 = 630, and 21 * 30 = 630 Therefore, 30/35 is the correct answer.
