Question

the first letter of the suspects name is the same as the proportion with the greatest solution. 5/6 = g/24 or 1/7 = j/91​

Answer 1

"G"

Explanation:

We need to determine the first letter of a suspect's name, which corresponds to the proportion with the greatest solution. Evaluate the two proportions:

1) 5/6 = g/24

To solve this proportion, cross-multiply:

5 * 24 = 6 * g

120 = 6g

g = 20

2) 1/7 = j/91

Again, cross multiplication gives:

1 * 91 = 7 * j

91 = 7j

j = 13

Comparing the solutions, we can see that g = 20 is greater than j = 13.

Therefore, based on the given proportions, the first letter of the suspect's name would be "G" since the proportion with the greatest solution is 5/6 = g/24.
