Question

Solve the proportions 18/27=60/m

Answer 1

m = 90

Step-by-step explanation

To find m first we have to multiply both sides by m:

`\begin{gathered} (18)/(27)m=(60)/(m)m \\ (18)/(27)m=60 \end{gathered}`

Then multiply both sides by 27:

`\begin{gathered} (18m)/(27)\cdot27=60\cdot27 \\ 18m=1620 \end{gathered}`

And finally divide both sides by 18:

`\begin{gathered} (18m)/(18)=(1620)/(18) \\ m=90 \end{gathered}`
