sammixboo (sammixboo):

OK so we have \(\dfrac{240}{25}=\dfrac{x}{45}\) we have to solve for X... Do you know how?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Wait, would the minutes be the numerator or denominator? Sorry I am confusing myself now o-o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk..

sammixboo (sammixboo):

OK, anyways. Let's start solving for x

sammixboo (sammixboo):

We first cross multiply 240 by 45, so what is 240*45?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10800

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sammixboo

OpenStudy (ribhu):

may i help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please do.

OpenStudy (ribhu):

the machine produces 240 bolts in 25 minutes

OpenStudy (ribhu):

so it will produce 240/25 bolts in 1 minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9.6?

OpenStudy (ribhu):

no. of bolts produced in 45 minutes = no. of bolts produced in 1 minute * 45 (which is minutes)

OpenStudy (ribhu):

no. of bolts produced in 45 minutes = 45* 240/25 = 9.6*45 = ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would 432 be the answer

OpenStudy (ribhu):

yups

OpenStudy (ribhu):

did u get the question?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Yep. Also (to continue what I was saying) after you cross multiply, you get 10800. Now you divide 10800 by 25 to get 432

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yess, thanks! Can you help with one more?

OpenStudy (ribhu):

kk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do i line it up?

OpenStudy (ribhu):

like statement... what is needed for what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it \[\frac{ 104 }{ 130 } \rightarrow \frac{ x }{ 278.75 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or what?

OpenStudy (ribhu):

see don't go direct, i will tell u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What

OpenStudy (ribhu):

patient of 104 lbs needs 130mg medicine. so 1 mg medicine would be needed by a man of 104/130 lbs so 278.75mg medicine is needed by 104/130 *278.75 = ??

OpenStudy (ribhu):
