Solving Proportions Using Cross Products

• We can solve proportions by using cross products and creating an equation.

• We need to solve the equation from the cross products by using the steps we have used to solve other equations.

 $\frac{w}{6}=\frac{6}{9}$  

 $\frac{12}{10}=\frac{a}{15}$  

 $\frac{9}{y}=\frac{3}{17}$  

 $\frac{x}{4}=\frac{10}{12}$
