Solve the proportion. Where necessary, round to the nearest hundreth.
9/10=x10
A.9
B. 90
C. 10
D. 1000
Is the answer A?
Thank you
You are correct, A is the answer.
This problem is very simple.
By plugging in 9 on the other side, and then solving, you get the same value of 0.9 on both sides. Or, if you cross multiply, you should get 1 as the answer. This is because you get 90/90, which also is 1.
I hope this helps! :)
P.S. I also thought "x10" is supposed to be x/10 right away, since most proportions are like this.
Hi!!!! I didn't think you were coming today
Callie, do you still need some help with some more questions and problems? I will gladly try to help you.
To solve the proportion, we can use the cross product property. The cross product of a proportion states that the product of the means is equal to the product of the extremes.
In this case, we have the proportion 9/10 = x/10.
To find the value of x, we can cross multiply: (9)(10) = (x)(10).
Simplifying this equation, we have 90 = 10x.
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 10: 90/10 = x.
The answer is x = 9.
So, the correct answer is A. 9
