$w = 21$ $w=21$

To do these questions, simply cross multiply because it is simply a ratio of expansion or compression.

Starting off with $\frac{30}{20} = \frac{w}{14}$ $30/20=w/14$ , I can multiply $30$ $30$ with $14$ $14$ and divide by $20$ $20$ to get $w$ $w$ .

$w = \frac{30 \times 14}{20}$ $w = (30xx14)/20$

$w = \frac{420}{20}$ $w=420/20$

$w = 21$ $w=21$

Therefore: $\frac{30}{20} = \frac{21}{14}$ $30/20=21/14$

TEST:

$\frac{30}{20} = 1.5$ $30/20 =1.5$

$\frac{21}{14} = 1.5$ $21/14=1.5$

If 3020=w1430/20 = w/14, what is w equal to?
