Find the number that completes each of the following proportions: a.8120=4c b. n0.5=0.71 c.8x=23 d. 7:6=k:120

a. c = 2030,

b. n = 1.42,

c. x = 2.875,

d. k = 140

Step-by-step explanation:

a ) 8120 = 4c,

c = 8120 / 4 = 2030

b ) 0.5n = 0.71,

n = 0.71 / 0.5 = 1.42

c ) 8x = 23,

x = 23 / 8 = 2.875

d ) 7 : 6 = k : 120

Here we want to convert this ratio into fraction form,

7 / 6 = k / 120

And now we can cross - multiply to determine the value of k,

6k = 7(120) = 840,

k = 840 / 6 = 140

We can check the value of k, by plugging it back into our ratio, and see if it reduces to 7 : 6,

140 : 120,

14 : 12,

7 : 6
