Need help with proportions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u put more questions cuses i dont know what u need

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first question is y/4=15/20

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nevermind i got this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This would then turn into 20y = 60 if you're still wondering.

OpenStudy (is3535):

We simplify the equation to the form, which is simple to understand y/4=15/20 Simplifying: + 0.25y=15/20 Simplifying: + 0.25y=0.75 We move all terms containing y to the left and all other terms to the right. + 0.25y=0.75 We simplify left and right side of the equation. + 0.25y=0.75 We divide both sides of the equation by 0.25 to get y. y=3

this one i need help \[6/z-3 = 8/5\]

OpenStudy (is3535):

so your answer is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx for the awnser!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this one i need help 6/z−3=8/5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have multiple choices for your question? I'm not entirely sure if you're looking for a value or an equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah, I see now. Alright, I'll be able to calculate that now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need explanation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like previously explained, proportions are set up through cross multiplication and this is no different. Your fractions will turn into 8(z-3) = 30. Of which, you're trying to solve for z.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you need a further explanation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no but thank you for helping
