The value of n in given proportion is 16

Solution:

We have to find the value of "n" in the proportion

Given proportion is:


(n)/(28) = (4)/(7)

We can solve the above proportion by cross-multiplying

Multiply the numerator of the left-hand fraction by the denominator of the right-hand fraction

Multiply the numerator of the right-hand fraction by the denominator of the left-hand fraction

Set the two products equal to each other

Solve for the variable


->(n)/(28) = (4)/(7)


-> 7 * n = 4 * 28


-> n = (4 * 28)/(7)


-> n = 4 * 4 = 16

Thus the value of n in given proportion is 16
