Question

Ming was planning a trip to Western Samoa. Before going, she did some research and learned that the exchange rate is 6 Tala for $2. How many Tala would she get if she exchanged $6?

Can you please write a proportion with the answer?

Answer 1

18 Tala.

Explanation:

1. You have that Ming learned that the exchange rate is 6 Tala for $2. Therefore, if she exchanged $6, she would get:

`(6)/(2)=(x)/(6)`

2. Now, you must solve for
`x`, which is sthe amount of Tala:

`x=((6)(6))/(2)\\x=(36)/(2)\\x =18`

3. Therefore, she would get 18 Tala.
