Question

Identify the value of x that makes each pair of ratios equivalent.

1. 2:x and 12:18
a.3
b.4
c.6

Answer 1

a.3

Explanation:

First, we are going to look at the first part of the ratio, which is 2 and 12.

12 ÷ 2 = 6.

So, since 12 was divided by 6, we must also divide 18 by 6 to get our answer.

18 ÷ 6 = 3

Therefore, 3 would be the correct answer.

Answer 2

a.3

Explanation:

2:x and 12:18

We need to get from 2 to 12 and 3 to 18

2* something = 12 x* something = 18

Divide by 2

something =12/2

something =6

x*6 = 18

x = 18/6

x=3
