Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a series of fractions with missing values, likely requiring the completion of proportions. Let's solve each one.
1.
We can solve for the missing part by cross-multiplying: This gives , which is not possible. So, the first one may be incorrect or unsolvable with the given numbers.
2.
In this case: This simplifies to , which is also not possible.
3.
Cross-multiplying: This gives: This also leads to an impossible equality, suggesting that this proportion isn't correct either.
4.
Cross-multiplying: This gives , so .
5.
Cross-multiplying: This simplifies to: This equation is correct.
