How do i solve proportions? step by step answers plz!!!!
EXAMPLE!
g/5 = 6/10
g/5 = 6/10
First, cross-multiply.
10g = 30
Then solve the equation.
g = 30/10
g = 3
Now substitute 3 for g.
3/5 = 6/10
Aren't they the same?
Do you have more info on this?

To solve proportions step by step, you can follow the following process:
Step 1: Identify the given proportions. In your example, the given proportion is g/5 = 6/10.
Step 2: Cross-multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction (g) by the denominator of the second fraction (10), and multiply the numerator of the second fraction (6) by the denominator of the first fraction (5). This gives you g * 10 = 6 * 5.
Step 3: Simplify the equation. This will give you 10g = 30.
Step 4: Isolate the variable. Divide both sides of the equation by 10 to solve for g. This will give you g = 30/10.
Step 5: Simplify the fraction. In this case, 30/10 can be simplified to g = 3.
Therefore, the solution to the proportion g/5 = 6/10 is g = 3.
Remember to always check your solution by substituting g = 3 back into the equation to ensure both sides are equal.
