Describe and correct the error in solving the proportion?

Choice B

They did not perform the cross multiplication properly

The correct step should be m*24 = 8*15 which solves to m = 5

========================================================

Explanation:

In general, if we had the equation A/B = C/D, then it cross multiplies to A*D = B*C. We refer to this as cross multiplication because of the shape made when we connect the terms (to figure out what multiplies with what). The diagram below shows what I mean.

So that's why m/8 = 15/24 cross multiplies to m*24 = 8*15

Simplifying things a bit leads to 24m = 120. Then we divide both sides by 24 to fully isolate m and we get m = 120/24 = 5. Therefore, m = 5.

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
