Joel is making a model of a car The real car is 8 feet long and 4 feet wide . Joel's model will be 12 cm long . Which proportion could be used to solve for the width x?
A. 8;4 = 12x B. 8:4 = x :12 C. 8:12 = x:4 D. 12: 8 = 4:x​


Sagot :

Answer:

Option c. 8:12 = x:4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us used the proportion if can satisfied to solve for the width. 8:12 = x:4

  • x = 8(12) ÷ (x)4
  • x = 96 ÷ 4
  • x = 24

Therefore the proportion is satisfied to solve the problem, where the width of the car is 24.

Checking:

Let's check if both proportions will have the same product. (8:12 = 24:4)

  • 8 × 12 = 96
  • 24 × 4 = 96

96 = 96

They are now proportional!
