Can you please help me. This question is off of a 
worksheet and is multiple choice. 

Solve the proportion:  = 

The choices are: 

a. 1 11/12
b. 10 1/6
c. 1 1/3
d. 2 2/3 

Thank you for your help.

 = 

Cross multiply:

 = 

Multiply and distruibute

      = 
   
Add -16 to both sides

   =  

      = 

Divide both sides by 32

      = 

       = 

So the answer is  = 

It isn't on your list, so let's check it:

    = 

  = 

     =  

       = 

Reduce the fraction on the left:

       = 

So  is the correct answer.

So the worksheet is in error.  Unfortunatelty,
this sort of thing happens sometimes.
