solve the proportion w/36 = 5/18
you sick my choices are w =5 w =10 w = 15 w=20 choice form that you iditot
oh, please, 5/18 = 10/26
so what do you think?
your right oobleck#
w = 90
thanks
To solve the proportion w/36 = 5/18, we need to isolate the variable w. Here are the steps to do that:
Step 1: Cross-multiply.
Multiply the numerator of the first fraction (w) with the denominator of the second fraction (18), and multiply the denominator of the first fraction (36) with the numerator of the second fraction (5). This gives us:
18w = 5 * 36.
Step 2: Simplify.
Multiply 5 by 36:
18w = 180.
Step 3: Solve for w.
To solve for w, we need to get rid of the coefficient 18. Divide both sides of the equation by 18:
w = 180 / 18.
Step 4: Simplify the expression.
Divide 180 by 18:
w = 10.
Therefore, the solution to the proportion w/36 = 5/18 is w = 10.
