Identify Proportion: Identify the proportion given and what is asked. 9 stamps are equivalent to 1 sheet, so we need to find how many sheets are equivalent to 18 stamps.
Set Up Proportion: Set up the proportion to find the missing number.Using the proportion 1 sheet9 stamps=x sheets18 stamps, where x is the number of sheets needed.
Solve for x: Solve for x.Cross-multiply to find x: 9×x=18×1,9x=18.
Divide to Isolate x: Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x. x=918,x=2.
