Question

Learning Task 2: Solve each proportion

1) 5/12 = 35/ n

2) n/ 52 = 180/ 120

3) 18/n = 21/28

4) n/4 = 24/6

5) 10/16 = n/56

Answer 1

Bonjour,

1) 5/12 = 35/ n

(5/12) /35 = n

5/12 * 1/35 = n

5/420 =n

1/84 =n

2) n/ 52 = 180/ 120

n= (180*52)/120

n=9 360/120 = 936/12 = 78

3) 18/n = 21/28

n = (21/28)/18

n = 21/28 * 1/18

n= 21/504 = 7/168= 1/24

4) n/4 = 24/6

n= 24/6 * 4

n= 96/6 =16

5) 10/16 = n/56

n= 10/16 * 56

n= 560/16

n= 35
