Check Explanation

Step-by-step explanation

62 peaches = 96 cups of water

Let x peaches correxpond to 1 cup of water

62 peaches = 96 cups of water

x peaches = 1 cup of water

We can form a mathematical relationship by cross multiplying

96x = (62) (1)

96x = 62

Divide both sides by 96

(96x/96) = (62/96)

0.65 peach per 1 cup of water

If the corresponding expression is

56 peaches = 84 cups of water

Let x peaches correxpond to 1 cup of water

56 peaches = 84 cups of water

x peaches = 1 cup of water

We can form a mathematical relationship by cross multiplying

84x = (56) (1)

84x = 56

Divide both sides by 84

(84x/84) = (56/84)

0.67 peach per 1 cup of water

Hope this Helps!!!
