6th: Solving Proportions (9.3)

How would you write the proportion for: 2 is to 10 as 8 is to x.

• $\frac{2}{8}=\frac{x}{10}$

• $\frac{2}{10}=\frac{8}{x}$

• $\frac{10}{2}=\frac{8}{x}$

How could I use equivalent ratios to solve: $\frac{8}{9}=\frac{m}{45}$   Select all that apply to the process of trying to solve.
