Question

Find the unknown number in the proportion 5/11 = х/94 Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

In the proportion

`(5)/(11)=(x)/(94)`

We do cross multiplication to get

`5*94=11x`

simplifying the left-hand side gives

`11x=470`

dividing both sides by 11 gives

`x=42.73.`

which is our answer.
