Algebra.Com's Answer #369563 by JBarnum(2146)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! this is how i would do it wether its the fastest or easiest way im not sure \n" ); document.write( "z:x = 1:6 this says for every z there are 6 x's \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "w:x=4:3 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "y:z=3:2 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "so now we need to find out what w and y equal \n" ); document.write( "w=(3/4)x \n" ); document.write( "y=(2/3)z \n" ); document.write( "since z=6x we can substitute it in so y=#x \n" ); document.write( "y=(2/3)(6x) \n" ); document.write( "y=4x \n" ); document.write( "so w:y= \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "so w to y is 3:16 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
