Answer: 1. 266
2. 72
1. 95 : 15 = ___ : 42
Form a proportion. Let x be the missing term.
[tex]\frac{95}{15} = \frac{x}{42}[/tex]
Solve for x by cross-multiplying.
[tex]15x = 95(42)\\15x = 3990\\x = 266[/tex]
2. 98 : 112 = 63 : ___
Form a proportion. Let x be the missing term.
[tex]\frac{98}{112} = \frac{63}{x}[/tex]
Solve for x by cross-multiplying.
[tex]98x = 112(63)\\98x = 7056\\x = 72[/tex]
