Will someone me with both of these i have to solve for the unknown portions

b=2.5

p=6

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the fraction and simplify it. So 10/8 would be 5/4

You multiply the 2 by 2, giving you h/4

So now you have 5/4=h/4

h=5 but now you have to divide both by 2 again so it can go back to the original fraction.

5÷2=2.5 and 4÷2=2

Second Problem! 4/2 is equal to 2/1

You can also multiply 4 by 3 to get the numerator as 12. Multiply the 4 by 3 and the 2 by 3

Now you have 12/6= 12/p

So p is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

c) Multiply by the denominator under the variable, then simplify.

__

d) Simple observation shows you the denominator of each fraction is half the numerator, so p = 6.

If you want to solve this algebraically, you can multiply by p and divide by the value on the left of the equal sign (2).

__

For an "upside down" proportion such as this (with the variable in the denominator), you can rewrite it by inverting both fractions:

Now, solve as for (c), by multiplying by the denominator under the variable:

Comment on this last solution method

In general, you can use equation solving methods to solve inequalities. However, taking a reciprocal is an order-reversing process:

  3 > 2

  1/3 < 1/2

So, if you want to solve an inequality with the variable in the denominator of a proportion, be careful to observe any order-changing behavior of your solution method.
