Answer 1

3 3/4 Crates of Oranges

Explanation:

We use a proportion to solve this. There are many steps involved, so I'll put each one separate, so you can easily follow.

Step 1: Set Up a Proportion

`(0.5)/(2.5) = (0.75)/(x)`

Step 2: Cross-Multiply

`(1)/(2)x = (3)/(4) * 2(1)/(2) \\(1)/(2)x = 1(7)/(8) \\`

Step 3: Isolate x

`1(7)/(8) * 2 = 3(3)/(4)`

`x = 3(3)/(4)`

Step 4: Check

`(0.5)/(2.5) = (0.75)/(3.75)`

`(1)/(2) * 3(3)/(4) = (3)/(4) * 2(1)/(2)`

`1(7)/(8) = 1(7)/(8)` ✔

Step 5: Answer

3 3/4 crates of oranges

I'm always happy to help :)
