Two pounds of grapes cost $6. Complete the table showing the price of different amounts of grapes at this rate.

What number belongs in the leftmost empty cell?

What number belongs in the rightmost cell?

leftmost empty cell: ⅓

rightmost empty cell: 3

Step-by-step explanation:

✔️If 2 pounds grapes cost $6, then x pounds of grapes cost $1.

Thus;

2 : 6 = x : 1

2/6 = x/1

Multiply both sides by

²/6 × 1 = x/1 × 1

²/6 = x

¹/3 = x

x = ⅓

✔️If 2 pounds grapes cost $6, then 1 pound of grapes cost $x.

Thus;

2 : 6 = 1 : x

²/6 = ¹/x

Cross multiply

2x = 6

Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = ⁶/2

x = 3

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
