For this case we have the following proportion:


\frac {\frac {1} {2}} {\frac {2} {3}} = \frac {\frac {3} {4}} {x}

Rewriting the given expression we have:


\frac {1} {2} \frac {3} {2} = \frac {\frac {3} {4}} {x}\\\frac {3} {4} = \frac {\frac {3} {4}} {x}

From here, we must clear the value of x.

We have then:


\frac {3} {4} x = \frac {3} {4}\\x = \frac {\frac {3} {4}} {\frac {3} {4}}\\x = 1

Answer:

The value of x in the given proportion is given by:


x = 1

option A
