A. Find the unknown term of each proportion.
1. Answer: X=5
Step-by-step explanation:
x/7=15/21 ==> 21x=7(15) ==> 21x=105
21x/21=105/21 ==> x=5
2. Answer: X=40.5
Step-by-step explanation:
27/x=x/3 ==> 27(3)=x(x) ==> 81=2x
81/2=2x/2 ==> x=40.5
3. Answer: X=16
Step-by-step explanation:
8/x+2=4/9 ==> 8(9)=4(x+2) ==> 72=4x+8
72-8=4x+8-8 ==> 64=4x ==> 64/4=4x/4 ==> x=16
4. Answer: X=8
Step-by-step explanation:
3/x=30/80 ==> 3(80)=30x ==> 240=30x
240/30=30x/30 ==> x=8
5. Answer: M=56
Step-by-step explanation:
m/8=m+7/9 ==> 9m=8(m+7) ==> 9m=8m+56
9m-8m=8m-8m+56 ==> m=56
B. Solve the following.
1. Answer: 80 and 100
Step-by-step explanation:
4:5 ==> 4x+5x=180 ==> 9x=180
9x/9=180/9 ==> x=20
4(20)= 80 5(20)=100
2. Answer: 235.29
Step-by-step explanation:
3400/8 ==> 425
100,000/425= 235.29
