Question

I need help to solve please

Answer 1

y = 8; x = 6
`(7)/(8)` ; n = 1
`(2)/(23)` ; p = 55

Explanation:

First proportion

// How to solve it

// firstly, multiply both sides by y, so that y would be in numerator

`(16)/(16) * y` =
`(8)/(y) * y`

// now we get

`(16y)/(16)` = 8

// secondly, divide both sides by
`(16)/(16)`, so that we'd have y on one side and the expression on the other side

y =
`(16)/(16)*8`

// since
`(16)/(16)` = 1

y = 8

Second proportion

// divide both sides by 22, so that there'd be unknown variable x on one side and the expression on the other side

x =
`(10*22)/((y*4))`

Is this y from the first proportion?

If so, then x =
`(10*22)/((8*4))` =
`(220)/(32)` =
`(55)/(8)` = 6
`(7)/(8)`

Third proportion

// divide both sides by 5

n =
`(5)/(23) * 5` =
`(25)/(23)` = 1
`(2)/(23)`

Fourth proportion

// divide both sides by 10

p =
`(22)/(4) *10` = 55
