To solve for x and y in the equation 614 = x/7 = 24/y, we can start by cross multiplying the fractions:
614 * 7 = 24 * x
4298 = 24x
Next, we divide both sides of the equation by 24 to solve for x:
4298/24 = x
179.0833 = x
To solve for y, we can cross multiply again:
614 * y = 24 * 7
614y = 168
Lastly, we divide both sides by 614 to solve for y:
168/614 = y
0.2736 = y
So, x is approximately 179.0833 and y is approximately 0.2736.
What number must replace x and y for the three fractions to become equivalent? 614 = x7 = 24y (1 point) x = , y =
