Solve the proportion using cross products.
20 Miles 15 Miles
________ = __________
50 Miles h Hours
Please Answer!!!!
37.5
THANKS
To solve the proportion using cross products, we need to set up an equation:
20 miles / 50 miles = 15 miles / h hours
Now, we can cross multiply:
20 miles * h hours = 50 miles * 15 miles
This simplifies to:
20h = 750
To isolate h, we can divide both sides by 20:
h = 750 / 20
Simplifying further, we have:
h = 37.5
Therefore, h is equal to 37.5 hours.
To solve the proportion using cross products, you need to multiply the numerator of the first ratio with the denominator of the second ratio and set it equal to the product of the denominator of the first ratio and the numerator of the second ratio.
In this case, the cross products would give us:
20 miles * h hours = 15 miles * 50 miles
To solve for h, we can rearrange the equation:
20h = 15 * 50
Now we can calculate the value of h by dividing both sides of the equation by 20:
h = (15 * 50) / 20
Simplifying further:
h = 750 / 20
h = 37.5
Therefore, the value of h is 37.5 hours.
