KjSaif (kjsaif):

OpenStudy (3mar):

Well, I am here.

KjSaif (kjsaif):

ok :)

OpenStudy (3mar):

So What you got?

OpenStudy (3mar):

?

KjSaif (kjsaif):

sorry my pc crashed

KjSaif (kjsaif):

i'm actually stuck on this one :(

OpenStudy (3mar):

No problem.

OpenStudy (3mar):

Easy, man!

OpenStudy (3mar):

What would be the first blank?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Ratios are set as fractions we would set this as.... \(\huge\bf{\frac{feet}{day}}\) So how would the `12 feet during a 16-day period` look like in a ratio? (this would be the first blank)

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Umm.....i'm stuck so if im wrong i'm sorry.................um 12/16

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Nice :) But we need to simplify it....We know that they share a common factor of 4 so.... \(\huge\bf{\frac{12}{16} \div \frac{4}{4}=?}\)

OpenStudy (3mar):

Correct! but can you simplify it more

KjSaif (kjsaif):

3/4?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Nice :)

OpenStudy (3mar):

Thanks, 563blackghost

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Now how would February be set?

OpenStudy (3mar):

Better as always!

KjSaif (kjsaif):

So it would be 18/24?

OpenStudy (3mar):

@KJSaif, you are in good hands!

KjSaif (kjsaif):

but simplified 3/4?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Yes but make sure to simplify more :) We determine the common factor which would be 6... \(\huge\bf{\frac{18}{24} \div \frac{6}{6}=?}\)

KjSaif (kjsaif):

3/4

KjSaif (kjsaif):

Is it proportional?

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Correct :) Now we would cross multiply to determine if they are proportional ^.^ \(\huge\bf{3 \times 4 = 3 \times 4}\) Are they proportional?

KjSaif (kjsaif):

yes

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Correct :) Nocely Done xD

563blackghost (563blackghost):

Nicely*
