If Paul is 5 years old and Mei is 2 years old, how old will Mei be when Paul is 15? Can you use proportional reasoning to solve this problem? Why or Why Not.

Be sure to describe how you solved the problem.

mei will be 12 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

12 years

Step-by-step explanation:

No

, we do not use any proportional reasoning.

because paul is 5 and mei is 2 so there is 3 years difference in both age so if paul is 15 then cut 3 years from his age so that is the fact that mei is 12 years old.

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.  

answer: the answer is one

step-by-step explanation:

pemdas, in this situation there is no parenthesis or exponents so you go to multiplication, 1x1=1, then division 1/1= 1 then addition 1+1=2 then subtraction 2-1=1
