Answer 1

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

cross multiply

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

264 = 16x

Answer 6

You cross multiply

Answer 7

That is what I did, was it not?

Answer 8

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

Answer 9

Yup. Was 16.5.

Answer 10

\[\frac{ x }{ 44 } \times \frac{ 6 }{ 16 }\]

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

Answer 11

So 16.5 is correct
