Question

Find the value that makes the proportion true
5/6= ?/180

Answer 1

150/180

Explanation:

Solution by Cross Multiplication;

The equation:

`(5)/(6) = (x)/(180)`

The cross-product is:

5(180) = 6(x)

Solving for x:

x =
`(5(180))/(6) \\`

x = 150

Answer 2

150

Explanation:

5/6= ?/180

We can use cross-products to solve.

5 * 180 = 6 * ?

Divide each side by 6.

5 * 180/6 = ?

5 * 30 = ?

150

The missing number is 150.
