Question

Solve for the missing part of the proportion. 13/27 = ?/324

Answer 1

13/27 = ?/324

Since 324 divided by 27 is 12, you multiply 13 by 12 to get '?'

13*12= 156

13/27 = 156/324

? = 156

Answer 2

156

Explanation:

Solve for the missing part of the proportion. 13/27 = ?/324

To solve the missing part of this proportion;

13/27 = ?/324

The first step to take is to cross multiply

(13 will multiply 324 and ? will multiply 27)

27 × ? = 13 × 324

27 × ? = 4212

Then the next step is to divide both-side of the equation by 27

27 × ? / 27 = 4212 / 27

(On the left-hand side of the equation, 27 will cancel out 27, we will be left with ?, and on the right-hand side of the equation 4212 by 27 to get 156)

? = 156

Therefore, the missing part of the proportion is 156
