Example Question #7 : Use The Four Operations To Solve Word Problems Involving Various Measures: Ccss.Math.Content.4.Md.A.2
Sarah walked to the stop sign, and then to her friend’s house. In feet, how far did she walk?
The first thing we need to do is put our inches into feet because our final answer is asking for feet. We know that . We can set up a proportion and cross multiply to solve.
Then we can divide to isolate the .
Now we can add our feet together to find our total.
Example Question #8 : Use The Four Operations To Solve Word Problems Involving Various Measures: Ccss.Math.Content.4.Md.A.2
Avery has of juice. She pours into a pitcher. In , how much of the juice is not in the pitcher?
Because our systems of measurements are the same, the first thing we want to do is subtract.
Our answer is asking us for milliliters, so we need to convert into milliliters. We know that . We can set up a proportion and cross multiply to solve.
Then we can divide to isolate the .
Example Question #22 : Converting Units Of Measurement
How many are in
To solve this problem we can make proportions.
We know that and we can use as our unknown.
Next, we want to cross multiply and divide to isolate the on one side.
The will cancel and we are left with
Example Question #23 : Converting Units Of Measurement
How many are in
To solve this problem we can make proportions.
We know that and we can use as our unknown.
Next, we want to cross multiply and divide to isolate the on one side.
The will cancel and we are left with
Example Question #181 : Ratio And Proportion
The cross-products (the product of a numerator and the other denominator) of a proportion are equal, so, if
,
it follows that
.
Example Question #182 : Ratio And Proportion
A property of proportions states that if two ratios are equivalent, then the ratio of numerators and the ratio of denominators are as well. Therefore, since
,
it follows that
Example Question #183 : Ratio And Proportion
A property of proportions states that if two ratios are equivalent, so are their reciprocals. Therefore, since
,
it follows that
.
Example Question #184 : Ratio And Proportion
Hannah has a bag of peanuts that she is going to divide evenly between her four friends. How many ounces of peanuts does she give to each friend?
The first thing we need to do is put our pounds into ounces because our final answer is asking for ounces. We know that . We can set up a proportion and cross multiply to solve.
Then we can divide to isolate the .
Now we need to divide our by because we are splitting the peanuts up equally between people.
Example Question #185 : Ratio And Proportion
Molly has a bag of peanuts that she is going to divide evenly between her three friends. How many ounces of peanuts does she give to each friend?
The first thing we need to do is put our pounds into ounces because our final answer is asking for ounces. We know that . We can set up a proportion and cross multiply to solve.
Then we can divide to isolate the .
Now we need to divide our by because we are splitting the peanuts up equally between people.
