Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Proportion Equation Worksheets (printable, online, answers, examples)
▼
Let's solve each equation step by step. We are given proportions (equations with fractions), and we need to find the unknown variable in each case. We'll use cross-multiplication to solve them.

---

1. $\frac{2}{7} = \frac{x}{15}$



Cross-multiply:

$$
2 \cdot 15 = 7 \cdot x \Rightarrow 30 = 7x
$$

Now divide both sides by 7:

$$
x = \frac{30}{7}
$$

As a mixed number: $4\frac{2}{7}$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{30}{7}}$ or $\boxed{4\frac{2}{7}}$

---

2. $\frac{2}{p} = \frac{9}{4}$



Cross-multiply:

$$
2 \cdot 4 = 9 \cdot p \Rightarrow 8 = 9p
$$

Divide both sides by 9:

$$
p = \frac{8}{9}
$$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{8}{9}}$

---

3. $\frac{1}{p} = \frac{6}{16}$



First, simplify $\frac{6}{16} = \frac{3}{8}$

So:
$$
\frac{1}{p} = \frac{3}{8}
$$

Cross-multiply:

$$
1 \cdot 8 = 3 \cdot p \Rightarrow 8 = 3p
$$

Divide by 3:

$$
p = \frac{8}{3}
$$

As a mixed number: $2\frac{2}{3}$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{8}{3}}$ or $\boxed{2\frac{2}{3}}$

---

4. $\frac{2}{5} = \frac{1}{n}$



Cross-multiply:

$$
2 \cdot n = 5 \cdot 1 \Rightarrow 2n = 5
$$

Divide by 2:

$$
n = \frac{5}{2}
$$

As a mixed number: $2\frac{1}{2}$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{5}{2}}$ or $\boxed{2\frac{1}{2}}$

---

5. $\frac{y}{8} = \frac{1}{28}$



Cross-multiply:

$$
y \cdot 28 = 8 \cdot 1 \Rightarrow 28y = 8
$$

Divide by 28:

$$
y = \frac{8}{28} = \frac{2}{7}
$$

(Simplified by dividing numerator and denominator by 4)

✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{2}{7}}$

---

6. $\frac{20}{9} = \frac{8}{c}$



Cross-multiply:

$$
20 \cdot c = 9 \cdot 8 \Rightarrow 20c = 72
$$

Divide by 20:

$$
c = \frac{72}{20} = \frac{18}{5}
$$

(Simplify by dividing numerator and denominator by 4)

As a mixed number: $3\frac{3}{5}$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{18}{5}}$ or $\boxed{3\frac{3}{5}}$

---

7. $\frac{1}{7} = \frac{k}{13}$



Cross-multiply:

$$
1 \cdot 13 = 7 \cdot k \Rightarrow 13 = 7k
$$

Divide by 7:

$$
k = \frac{13}{7}
$$

As a mixed number: $1\frac{6}{7}$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{13}{7}}$ or $\boxed{1\frac{6}{7}}$

---

8. $\frac{5}{k} = \frac{9}{10}$



Cross-multiply:

$$
5 \cdot 10 = 9 \cdot k \Rightarrow 50 = 9k
$$

Divide by 9:

$$
k = \frac{50}{9}
$$

As a mixed number: $5\frac{5}{9}$

✔ Answer: $\boxed{\frac{50}{9}}$ or $\boxed{5\frac{5}{9}}$

---

✔ Final Answers:



1. $x = \boxed{\frac{30}{7}}$ or $4\frac{2}{7}$
2. $p = \boxed{\frac{8}{9}}$
3. $p = \boxed{\frac{8}{3}}$ or $2\frac{2}{3}$
4. $n = \boxed{\frac{5}{2}}$ or $2\frac{1}{2}$
5. $y = \boxed{\frac{2}{7}}$
6. $c = \boxed{\frac{18}{5}}$ or $3\frac{3}{5}$
7. $k = \boxed{\frac{13}{7}}$ or $1\frac{6}{7}$
8. $k = \boxed{\frac{50}{9}}$ or $5\frac{5}{9}$
