Question

Solve the proportion. X/2 = 9/27

Answer 1

We can solve this proportion by cross multiplying (also known as the “breadsticks” method).

After cross multiplying, you should have the following:
27x = 18

Divide 27 from both sides, and now the equation will look like this:
x = 18/27

We can simplify further, so divide 9 from the numerator and denominator of the fraction:
x = 2/3

And there you have it!

Answer 2

To solve the proportion, X/2 = 9/27, you can cross multiply to get 2x = 9*27, which simplifies to 2x = 243. Then divide both sides by 2 to get x = 243/2, which simplifies to x = 121. Therefore, the solution to the proportion is x = 121.
