An equation that equates two rates or ratios is called proportions.
$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}$
Where $(b \neq 0, d \neq 0)$
To solve the proportions multiply both sides of the equation by LCD.
Calculation:
A bag of popcorn constains 4 gram of fat per serving if a serving is $2 - o z$
Let x be the number of grams of fat in $5 - o z$
Consider the provided proportion will be as:
$\frac{4 g}{2 o z} = \frac{x g}{5 o z}$
An equation that equates two rates or ratios is called proportions.
$\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}$
Where $(b \neq 0), d \neq 0)$
To solve the proportions, multiply both sides of the equation by LDC.
Hence the LCD of the provided proportion is $10 o z$
Hence, multiply both sides of the equation by $10 o z$ as:
$(10) \frac{4 g}{2 o z} = \frac{x}{5 o z} (10)$
Further simplify as:
$(10) \frac{4 g}{2 o z} = \frac{x g}{5 o z} (10)$
$5 (4) = 2 x$
$20 = 2 x$
Now divide both sides of the equation by 2 as:
$20 = 2 x$
$\frac{20}{2} = \frac{2 x}{2}$
$x = 10$
Hence, the amount of fat in $5 - o z$ bag is 10 gram.
