This document discusses using cross products to solve proportions. It provides three examples: 1) Solving the proportion 8 = 6/15 to find the solution is 20. 2) Using cross products to solve a standardized test problem where the proportion is 4 = 8/x-3 and the solution is x = 3. 3) Writing and solving a real-world proportion to find how much food a 280 pound seal should be fed per day (22.4 pounds).
