To find the missing value for B, we can set up a proportion with the known values:
18 pencils / 72 pens = 35 pencils / 140 pens
To solve for B, we can cross multiply:
18 * 140 = 72 * 35
2520 = 2520
Since the equation is true, it means that B is the same as A, which is 168 pens.
Therefore, the missing value for B is 168 pens.
18 pencils / 72 pens = 35 pencils / 140 pens
To solve for B, we can cross multiply:
18 * 140 = 72 * 35
2520 = 2520
Since the equation is true, it means that B is the same as A, which is 168 pens.
Therefore, the missing value for B is 168 pens.
