Identify the value of x that makes each pair of ratios equivalent. 2. 5: 15 and x: 3 a.5 b.3 c.1

c.1

Step-by-step explanation:

5: 15   x:3

a:b   c:d   The ratios have to stay in proportion.  So if we multiply a and b by a certain number  they will equal c and d.  We just don't know what that number is yet.  Call it something.

a* something = c   and b* something =d

5 * something = x

15* something = 3

Solve for the unknown number we are multiplying by

Divide each side by 15

15/15 * something =3/15

something = 1/5

Now that we know what we are multiplying by, we can solve for x

So  5 * something = x

     5* 1/5 = x

            1 =x

c.1

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we must look at the two last ratio numbers of "5:15 and x:3".

This would be 15 and 3. 15 ÷ 3 = 5. So, now since the numbers were divided by 5, we then must divide the first digit (5) by 5.

5 ÷ 5 = 1

Therefore, 1 would be the correct answer.

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'
