Answer:

A proportion is an equation that says that the two ratios are equivalent.

A proportion is read as a is to b as c is to d ,


(a)/(b)= (c)/(d) where b,d≠0

Given:
\_:11=(1)/(3) :6


x:11=(1)/(3) :6

to find the value of x:

we can write above expression as :
(x)/(11) =((1)/(3))/(6)

Cross- Multiplication method: which means that we multiply the numerator of each side by the denominator of the other side.

Using cross multiplication method, we can solve the value of x:


6\cdot x=(11)/(3)

On simplifying:


x=(11)/(3\cdot 6)=(11)/(18)

Therefore, the value of x is,
(11)/(18)
