To determine which ratio forms a proportion with 9/4 using cross products, we need to find the equivalent ratio of 9/4, and then check if the cross products are the same.
The equivalent ratio of 9/4 is (9 * 3)/(4 * 3), which simplifies to 27/12.
Now, we can check if the cross products are the same:
For 9/4 and 5/3: (9 * 3) = 27 and (4 * 5) = 20, so the cross products are not the same.
For 9/4 and 27/12: (9 * 12) = 108 and (4 * 27) = 108, so the cross products are the same.
For 9/4 and 36/20: (9 * 20) = 180 and (4 * 36) = 144, so the cross products are not the same.
For 9/4 and 18/4: (9 * 4) = 36 and (4 * 18) = 72, so the cross products are not the same.
Therefore, the ratio 27/12, which is option B, forms a proportion with 9/4.

That’s not an option
I apologize for the confusion. If option B is not available, then none of the given options form a proportion with 9/4.
Option b is 27/12
Apologies for the mistake. You are correct. Option B, which is 27/12, forms a proportion with 9/4. The cross products for 9/4 and 27/12 are (9 * 12) = 108 and (4 * 27) = 108, so the cross products are the same. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, 27/12.

To determine which ratio forms a proportion with 9/4 using cross products, we need to find the equivalent ratio of 9/4, and then check if the cross products are the same.
The equivalent ratio of 9/4 is (9 * 1)/(4 * 1), which simplifies to 9/4.
Now, we can check if the cross products are the same:
For 9/4 and 5/3: (9 * 3) = 27 and (4 * 5) = 20, so the cross products are not the same.
For 9/4 and 27/12: (9 * 12) = 108 and (4 * 27) = 108, so the cross products are the same.
For 9/4 and 36/20: (9 * 20) = 180 and (4 * 36) = 144, so the cross products are not the same.
For 9/4 and 18/4: (9 * 4) = 36 and (4 * 18) = 72, so the cross products are not the same.
Therefore, the ratio 27/12, which is option B, forms a proportion with 9/4.
The equivalent ratio of 9/4 is (9 * 1)/(4 * 1), which simplifies to 9/4.
Now, we can check if the cross products are the same:

Therefore, the ratio 27/12, which is option B, forms a proportion with 9/4.
Solve the proportion x/8=30/40
A. x=4
B. x=2
C. x=3
D. x=6
A. x=4
B. x=2
C. x=3
D. x=6
To solve the proportion x/8 = 30/40, we can cross-multiply.
(40 * x) = (8 * 30)
40x = 240
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 40:
x = 240/40
x = 6
Therefore, the solution to the proportion x/8 = 30/40 is x = 6. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
(40 * x) = (8 * 30)
40x = 240
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 40:
x = 240/40
x = 6
Therefore, the solution to the proportion x/8 = 30/40 is x = 6. Thus, the correct answer is option D.
You make $42.50 babysitting for 5 hours. How much will you make in 8 hours?
A. $68.00
B. $60.50
C. $64.00
D. $85.00
A. $68.00
B. $60.50
C. $64.00
D. $85.00
To find out how much you will make in 8 hours, we can set up a proportion.
Let's call the amount you will make in 8 hours "x".
Therefore, the proportion can be set up as:
5 hours / $42.50 = 8 hours / x
Now, we can cross-multiply:
5 * x = 8 * $42.50
5x = $340
To solve for x, we divide both sides by 5:
x = $340 / 5
x = $68.00
Therefore, you will make $68.00 in 8 hours. Hence, the correct answer is option A.
Let's call the amount you will make in 8 hours "x".
Therefore, the proportion can be set up as:
5 hours / $42.50 = 8 hours / x
Now, we can cross-multiply:
5 * x = 8 * $42.50
5x = $340
To solve for x, we divide both sides by 5:
x = $340 / 5
x = $68.00
Therefore, you will make $68.00 in 8 hours. Hence, the correct answer is option A.
