Question

What is the missing value in the proportion? Solve for M and round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

M = 165.66

Explanation:

Given the proportion,
`(M)/(178) = (188)/(202)`, gif ind the value of M, start by multiplying both sides by 178

`(M)/(178) * 178 = (188)/(202) * 178`

`M = (188 * 178)/(202)`

`M = (188 * 178)/(202)`

M = 165.66 (nearest hundredth)
