Question

If 4:3 = x:18 the value of x is​

Answer 1

X=24

Explanation:

When you're comparing ratios, they have to be proportional to each other.

So, for example, when you're looking at both numbers on the right, you can turn 3 into 18 by multiplying 3 by 6

3*6=18

So, to get the number that is proportional to 4, you also have to multiply 4 by 6

4*6=24

So, X, the unknown number, is 24

Answer 2

x = 24

Explanation:

Express the ratios in fractional form, that is

`(4)/(3)` =
`(x)/(18)` ( cross- multiply )

3x = 72 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 24
