1. A lawyer bills her clients $300 per hour of service. If a client's case requires 17 hours to complete, use a proportion to calculate how much the client will owe the lawyer (excluding tax).
2. A new virus is released on the internet; the administrator of a department's Local Area Network (LAN) is given five minutes by a manager to estimate the impact. The administrator samples 12 of the PCs connected to the LAN and finds that 7 are infected. Use a proportion to estimate the number of infected PCs if there are a total of 216 PCs connected to the LAN.
3. An administrator of a popular web site is told that a new faster server, which will replace the old server, can handle 45,000 "hits" (users accessing the site) per second. The web site currently experiences a peak demand of about 110,000 hits per second. But, every month, the peak demand increases by 2500 hits per second. Use a proportion equation to determine how many new servers the administrator should buy to address expected traffic for the next 24 months.
