Question

What is the value of x in the proportion below ?

180 Kilometers / 3 hours = 540 Kilometers / X

Answer 1

the value of x is 9.(................)

Answer 2

Answer: 9 hours

Explanation:

Given proportion :
`\frac{\text{180 Kilometers}}{\text{3 hours}}=\frac{\text{540 Kilometers }}{x}`

To find the value of x , we need to multiply 3x hours and divide 180 Kilometers on both the sides, we get

`\text{x}=3*(540)/(180)\text{hours}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=3*3\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=9\text{ hours}`

Hence, the value of x = 9 hours.
