Answer:

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:

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
