A
fraction numerator 100 over denominator begin display style m end style end fraction equals fraction numerator begin display style 160 2 over 5 end style over denominator 37 begin display style 7 over 10 end style end fraction

B
fraction numerator 100 over denominator begin display style 160 2 over 5 end style end fraction equals fraction numerator m over denominator 37 begin display style 7 over 10 end style end fraction

C
fraction numerator 160 begin display style 2 over 5 end style over denominator begin display style m end style end fraction equals fraction numerator 37 begin display style 7 over 10 end style over denominator 100 end fraction

D
fraction numerator m over denominator 160 begin display style 2 over 5 end style end fraction equals fraction numerator 37 begin display style 7 over 10 end style over denominator 100 end fraction

Answer 1

(a) since the mars:earth ratio is constant,
x / (160 2/5) = (37 7/10) / 100

now you try the others. Your style of typing fractions using annoying words instead of real math just makes my eyes bleed.
