Oh, nevermind! I got the answer it's D
Solve the proportion.
6
8
=
24
y
y=?
6
8
=
24
y
y=?
3.90 is the answer!!
So, lemme help
The proportions are 5.2/8=y/6
So,
So if you cross multiply 5.2 and 6
5.2 x 6 = 31.2 and now you do 8 times x which is 8x so
31.2 8x so to get the x by it self you have to do something with the 8
8x you have divide to take the 8 away and what ever you do to 1 side you have to do to the other so
31.2 ÷8 =$3.90 I put the zero there because we're dealing with money
