Answer 2

x = 10

Explanation:

Given the ratio, 5:6, which is also the same as ⅚. In order to solve for the unknown value, x, we can establish the following proportion:

`(x)/(12) = (5)/(6)`

Perform cross-multiplication:

6x = 60

Divide both sides by 6:

`(6x)/(6) = (60)/(6)`

x = 10

In order to verify its validity, substitute the value of x into the original proportion:

`(10)/(12) = (5)/(6)`

Perform cross-multiplication:

10 × 6 = 5 × 12

60 = 60 (True statement).

Therefore, the value of x = 10.
