Question is in the comments.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mehek (mehek14):

make proportions \(\dfrac{x}{44}=\dfrac{6}{16}\) cross multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am fairly certain I understand how to do it, I'd just like to clarify.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah, that's what I thought.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 264 }{ 16X }\] Again, unsure. (Tell me If I did this incorrectly) Divide both by 16? 16.5 = Xg

Mehek (mehek14):

264 = 16x

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

You cross multiply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is what I did, was it not?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is 16.5.. I think... I asked this question primarily to clarify the process.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yup. Was 16.5.

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

\[\frac{ x }{ 44 } \times \frac{ 6 }{ 16 }\] She multiplied 44 by 6, and then multiplied x by 16 After she did that, she got \[264 = 16x\] From there you just divide both sides by 16

OpenStudy (shadowlegendx):

So 16.5 is correct
