Question

Solving for proportion

Answer 1

1. c = 4.8
2. y = 4
3. k = -9.25
4. d = 6

Explanation:

To find the missing numbers, we must simplify the second half of the original proportion/fraction. Let's use number 2 as an example. First, we need to find out which number we are using to simplify. To do this, we divide 21 by 7. This gives us 3. Now, we divide 12 by 3 to get y, or 4. This strategy can be applied to all the problems.
