Question

Solve the proportion

Answer 1

The value of x for the following proportion is: 3/2

Explanation:

Given proportion is:

`(x)/(6) = (6)/(24)`

In order to solve the proportion, we have to isolate x on one side of the equation and then simplify

First of all simplifying

`(x)/(6) = (1)/(4)`

Now to find the value of x, multiplying both sides by 6

`(x)/(6) * 6 = (1)/(4)*6\\x =(6)/(4)\\x = (3)/(2)`

Hence,

The value of x for the following proportion is: 3/2
