Exercise 48 Page 669

Solve for the variable by using the Cross Products Property.

63/8=7.875

Practice makes perfect

To solve the proportion, we will start by using the Cross Products Property.

12/21=45/10x

Cross multiply

12 * 10x=21*45

Multiply

120x=945

From here, we will continue solving for x by using the Properties of Equality.

120x=945

.LHS /120.=.RHS /120.

x=945/120

a/b=.a /15./.b /15.

x=63/8

Use a calculator

x=7.875
