Answer 1

The correct proportion is option B: 182/100 = n/60.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion using the given information. Let n be equal to 182% of 60:

1. Option A: 182/60 = n/100. This proportion is not true because it does not match the given information.
2. Option B: 182/100 = n/60. This proportion is true because it correctly shows that 182% of 60 is equal to n.
3. Option C: 60/100 = 182/n. This proportion is not true because it does not match the given information.
4. Option D: 60/128 = n/100. This proportion is not true because it does not match the given information.

Therefore, the correct proportion is option B: 182/100 = n/60.
