This week we are discovering how to find the solution to a variable in a proportion problem.
It is really easy, however, it is also easy to make a careless mistake.
Another way to say cross products is to use the term cross multiply.
Basically, I take the numerator of the first fraction and multiply it
by the denominator of the second fraction.
Then I multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second fraction.
I then get the variable singled out by dividing what is being multiplied times the variable.
The variable is the letter that is holding the place of the missing number.
The variable will be solved after the number is divided from both sides of the equation.
