Question

4 markers cost $7.04. (The photo didn’t load up the first time when I asked the question. It’s a writing proportion question)

Answer 1

Answer: None of the above

Explanation:

The easiest way to get the cost is to get the cost per unit times the number needed.

x = 7($7.04/4 ) To make that into a proportion it would look like

x/7 = $7.04/4

`(x)/(7) =(7.04)/(4)`

None of the answers given match that

Answer 2

9514 1404 393

Answer:

4/7 = $7.04/x

Explanation:

You can write the proportion 4 different ways. Any way you write it, you want markers in corresponding positions and prices in corresponding positions.

Here the best choice is ...

(reference quantity)/(different quantity) = (reference price)/(different price)

4/7 = $7.04/x

Additional comment

Many people might choose to put the unknown in the numerator:

x/$7.04 = 7/4

or

x/7 = $7.04/4
