Question

Write a proportion that could solve for each variable, then solve for d dollars for 18.4 quarts.

a) 24/6 = d/18.4; d = 73.6 dollars
b) 18.4/6 = d/24; d = 73.6 dollars
c) 6/24 = 18.4/d; d = 2.3 dollars
d) 6/18.4 = 24/d; d = 73.6 dollars

Answer 1

The correct option is b) 18.4/6 = d/24; d = 73.6 dollars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is b) 18.4/6 = d/24; d = 73.6 dollars.

To solve this proportion, we can cross multiply and solve for d.

18.4/6 = d/24

By cross multiplying, we get:

18.4 * 24 = 6 * d

Simplifying, we have:

441.6 = 6d

Dividing both sides by 6, we find:

d = 73.6 dollars
