Solve for the unknown: 8/52 = m/39
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 39 to get:
\n" ); document.write( "m= 39(8/52) = 13(8/14)= 13(4/7) = 52/7
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "_______________________________________________________________________________
\n" ); document.write( "Is the rate 1.2 inches of rain/5hours equivalent to the rate 2.1 inches of rain/8hours?
\n" ); document.write( "1.2/5 ? 2.1/8
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "To get the 8 in the denominator multiply numerator and denominator
\n" ); document.write( "by (8/5).
\n" ); document.write( "You would get [(1.2*(8/5))]/[5*(8/5)) = 1.92/8
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "So, they are not equivalent.
