Question

solve as proportion

1/x = 7/24

Answer 1

1/3 = v/19

Answer 2

k/1 = k-12/2

Answer 3

To solve the proportion \( \frac{1}{x} = \frac{7}{24} \), you can cross-multiply:

\[
1 \cdot 24 = 7 \cdot x
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
24 = 7x
\]

Next, to solve for \( x \), divide both sides by 7:

\[
x = \frac{24}{7}
\]

So, the solution is:

\[
x = \frac{24}{7} \approx 3.43
\]

Answer 4

To solve the proportion \( \frac{1}{3} = \frac{v}{19} \), you can cross-multiply:

\[
1 \cdot 19 = 3 \cdot v
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
19 = 3v
\]

Next, to solve for \( v \), divide both sides by 3:

\[
v = \frac{19}{3}
\]

So, the solution is:

\[
v = \frac{19}{3} \approx 6.33
\]

Answer 5

To solve the equation

\[
\frac{k}{1} = \frac{k - 12}{2},
\]

you can cross-multiply:

\[
k \cdot 2 = (k - 12) \cdot 1.
\]

This simplifies to:

\[
2k = k - 12.
\]

Now, subtract \( k \) from both sides:

\[
2k - k = -12,
\]

which simplifies to:

\[
k = -12.
\]

So, the solution is:

\[
k = -12.
\]
