(b) 2 1/3
In this question, the ratio is implied: for every 3/4 inch
of map there is 1 real mile, so the ratio of inches to the
miles they represent is always 3/4 to 1. Therefore, you
can set up the proportion:
number of inches/ number of miles = 3/ = 3/4
On a certain map, 3/4 inch
represents one mile. What
Now 1 3/4 inches = 7/4 inches.
distance, in miles, is
presented by 1 3/4 inches?
Set up a proportion:
(a) 1 1/2
7/4 inches
(b) 2 1/3
(c) 2 1/2
7/4 inches / number of miles = 3/4
(d) 5 1/4
Cross-multiply:
7/4(4) = 3 (number of miles)
7= 3(number of miles)
7/3 = number of miles or 2 1/3 = number of miles
A certain box contains (d) 45
baseballs and golf balls. If
the ratio of baseballs to You can express the ratio of baseballs to golf balls as
golf balls is 2:3 and there 2/3. Since you know the number of baseballs, you can
are 30 baseballs in the set up a proportion: 2/3 = 30/ (x) where (x) is the
box, how many golf balls number of golf balls. To solve, cross-multiply to get
are in the box? 2(x) = 90, or x = 45.
