14: [tex]\frac{1}{2} = \frac{8}{1}[/tex] [tex]\frac{x}{y} = \frac{56}{1}[/tex]
56/8 = 7 so multiply 1/2 by 7/1 to get the unidentified fraction "x/y"
1/2 · 7/1 = 7/2 or 3 1/2
15. [tex]\frac{2}{5} = \frac{x}{100}[/tex]
to get from 100 to 5, you would divide by 20, so to solve for x, multiply 2 by 20, to get a product of 40.
40/100 = 40% or D
16. [tex]\frac{3}{5} = \frac{12}{x}[/tex]
A
