Question

Solve for x in the following proportion

Answer 1

Let's begin by identifying key information given to us:

`\begin{gathered} (2)/(6)=(10)/(x) \\ \text{Cross multiply, we have:} \\ 2\cdot x=10\cdot6 \\ 2x=60 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 2, we have:} \\ x=(60)/(2)=30 \\ x=30 \\ \\ \therefore(2)/(6)=(10)/(30) \end{gathered}`
