Question

Solve the proportion 4/3 is equal to 9 / X

Answer 1

We need to solve for X.

The proportion is:

`(4)/(3)=(9)/(X)`

To solve for X, we cross multiply and then use algebra to solve. The process is shown below:

`\begin{gathered} (4)/(3)=(9)/(X) \\ 4* X=3*9 \\ 4X=27 \\ X=(27)/(4) \end{gathered}`
