Question

Ming was planning a trip to Western Samoa. Before going, she did some research and learned that the exchange rate is 6 Tala for $2. How many Tala would she get if she exchanged $6?

Can you please write a proportion with the answer?

Answer 1

Answer:

18 Tala.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You have that Ming learned that the exchange rate is 6 Tala for $2. Therefore, if she exchanged $6, she would get:

$\frac{6}{2}=\frac{x}{6}$

2. Now, you must solve for $x$, which is sthe amount of Tala:

$x=\frac{(6)(6)}{2}\\x=\frac{36}{2}\\x =18$

3. Therefore, she would get 18 Tala.
