Question

Solve the proportion for x

Answer 1

`{\boxed{ \sf{x = 2}}}`

Explanation:

`\\ \sf \: (x)/(3) = (40)/(60)`

`\\ \sf \longmapsto (x)/(3) = {\cancel{ (40)/(60) }}`

`\\ \sf \longmapsto (x)/(3 ) = (2)/(3)`

`\\ \sf \longmapsto \: x = \frac{2}{ {\cancel{3}}} * \cancel3`

`\\ \sf \therefore \: x = 2`

`{\underbrace{ \overbrace{ \frak{hope \: it \: helps}}}}`

Answer 2

`(x)/(3) = (40)/(60) \\ 60x = 40 * 3 \\ 60x = 120 \\ x = (120)/(60) \\ \boxed{x = 2}`
