What does a proportion look like?

A proportion looks like this:

It means that the quantity a,b,c and d are in the same proportion: the ratio between a and b is the same ratio between c and d.

They are particularly useful in situation when you have an example given, and you want to extrapolate the relationship for another couple.

For example, you can think of the following problem: "Five apples cost 2 dollars. How much will 8 apples cost?"

You can build the proportion

And then solve it for x:

which expression can be used to convert 80 us dollars (usd) to australian dollars (aud)?

1 usd = 1.0343 aud

1 aud = 0.9668 usd

step-by-step explanation:

sorry just need the points

answer: on graphs, the open and closed circles, or vertical asymptotes drawn as dashed lines us identify discontinuities.

as before, graphs and tables allow us to estimate at best.

when working with formulas, getting zero in the denominator indicates a point of discontinuity.

when working with piecewise-defined functions, check for discontinuities at the transition points where one piece ends and the next begins.
