Eliza makes handmade ornaments. It takes her 4 hours to make 18 ornaments. How many ornaments can she make in 14 hours?

She makes 63 ornaments in 14 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

4 = 18

14 = x

Cross multiplication

4x = 18 x 14

4x = 252

x = 63

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

since, we have to isolate x on anyone side

so, we can move all x terms on one side

subtract both sides by 2x

add both sides by 9

divide both sides by 4

we get

step-by-step explanation:

let pq = qr = rs = x, and xz = y and zu = z.

if the horizontal lines are parallel, then corresponding segments are in proportion:

substitute:

therefore 3 = y = z.

xu = y + z → xu = 3 + 3 = 6
