You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a%2Fb=c%2Fd means ad=bc

Therefore, 2%2Fv=1%2F8 means 2%2A8=v%2A1
16=v


I have an easy to understand explanation on Ratio and Proportion on my website. To go to my website, use the easy-to-spell and easy-to-remember link www.mathinlivingcolor.com. At the very bottom of this page, there is a link that will take you to my Homepage.

Once you are on my Homepage, look for the link "Basic, Intermediate, and College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Choose "Basic Algebra", and look in "Chapter 3," Section 3.08 Ratio and Proportion" for a complete, non-traditional explanation that my own students, before I retired, found a lot easier to understand than the published textbooks of that day. You should really like my MATH IN LIVING COLOR pages, where the most difficult problems are solved IN COLOR. In addition, I have a video of me teaching this topic before I retired.

Everything on the website is FREE. If you find something you really like, just print your own copy of it!!

If anyone needs to contact me, especially about the website, my Email address is rapaljer@seminolestate.edu. I'll be glad to help you find an explanation on my website to help you with your algebra topic!
