How do you solve the proportion #17/5.2=f/13#?

Answer 1

Abigail Allen

to solve for #f# in the equation #17/5.2 = f/13#

we would multiply both sides by #13#

#13(17/5.2) = 13(f/13)#

as #f# is dived by #13# and now we multiply by #13# we will be left with #f#.

so we have

#13(17/5.2) = f#

Therefore #f = 42.5#

thus you can rewrite the above proportion as:

#17/5.2 = 42.5/13#

To solve the proportion 17/5.2 = f/13, you can cross-multiply and then solve for the unknown variable f. Cross-multiplying gives you 17 * 13 = 5.2 * f. Simplifying further, 221 = 5.2f. To isolate f, divide both sides of the equation by 5.2. Therefore, f = 221/5.2, which simplifies to approximately 42.5.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
