Question

This scale drawing shows a.reduction in a figure what is the value of X

Answer 1

x = 2.25

Explanation:

8:6

So, 8/6 = 4/3 or 1.33333333 (decimal multiplier)

Therefore, 8 divided by 4/3 = 6.

Then, we could also do 3 divided by 4/3= 9/4 or 2.25.

2.25 x 4/3 = 3.

Answer 2

x = 2.25

setting up proportionality:

`\rightarrow \sf (8)/(3) = (6)/(x)`

`\rightarrow \sf 8x = 18`

`\rightarrow \sf x = (18)/(8)`

`\rightarrow \sf x = 2.25`
