Total employment for sheet metal workers in 2016 is projected to be 201,000. if this is a 6.3% increase from 2006, approximately what was the total employment in 2006? a. 214,000 b. 188,000 c. 195,000 d. 189,000

d.189000

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that total employment for sheet metal workers in 2016 is projected to be 201,000.

If this is 6.3% increase from 2006

We have to find the total number of employment in 2006

In 2016, Total number of employments =201,000

Let x be the total number of employments in 2006

Then

Hence, total number of employments in 2006=189000 approximately.

Option d is true.

a: 1/6, j: 1/4

step-by-step explanation: you are welcome

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
