7 x 5 = 35
2 x 5 = 10
f = 10
Easy. Cross multiply to get 2x = 35. Then, divide by two to get 35/2.
You can solve this 2 ways (probably more but I only really know 2). Proportion and Multiplication.(20/100)=(x/35)20*35=700700/100=7OR(.2 is equivalent to 20%).2*35=7.0
2/7=x/28 56=7x 8=x
2/7=x/14 28=7x 4=x
2/6=x/30 60=6x 10=x
2/9=x/72 144=9x 16=x
say it is 1 over 2 is equal to x over 4 you multiply 4 and 1 then 2 and x and you get 4=2x. Solve for x = 2. So the equivalent proportion is 2/4.
1/6=x/12 12=6x 2=x
1/9=x/18 18=9x 2=x
Assuming the proportion of women over 35 who are married 2 or more times is consistent, we can calculate the proportion found in the sample (8/100 = 0.08). Applying this proportion to the larger group of 5000 women would mean approximately 400 women over the age of 35 in a group of 5000 would be married 2 or more times.
x equals 4 over 35
To solve a proportion, you cross multiply. For example, if this was the proportion: 2/4 = 3/x, you would multiply 2 with x and 4 with 3. The products will be used in your next equation. In this case, your next equation is 2x = 12. Now you want to isolate x, so divide by two for both sides. Your answer will be x = 6.
