Identify the value of x that makes each pair of ratios equivalent 2:x and 12:18
wait a minute >w>
think i got it
whats your answer?
unsure about it but got 4
wait no thats not right
To find the answer to this ratio you will use cross-multiplication
i know i got the right answer ^^
3
do you need anything else?
kinda
ill help :)
just needing 21 to x and 7 to 10 & x to 50 and 16 to 25 (the other test i got one wrong but did really well i was surprised with myself im grateful everyones helpful it made me abit better)
Always happy to help :) Do you mean 21/x and 7/10 & x/50 and 16/25?
it says 21 to x and 7 to 10 so im sure thats the same
okay
the other is listed the same way
Cross-Multiply: 21/x and 7/10 21(10)=7x x/50 and 16/25 25x=50(16)
i think somethings wrong ;o
or im reading it wrong
2:x = 12:18 for what value of x? 2/x = 12/18 if we cross multiply, 2*18 = 12*x 36 = 12*x x = 3 2:3 = 12:18 as a check, multiply the ratio on the left by 6 and verify that it equals the one on the right. 2*6:3*6 = 12:18 12:18 = 12:18 (multiplied by 6 because that's the ratio 12:2, just checking that the denominator of our answer also is in the ratio 12:2)
21:x and 7:10 21*10 = 7*x 210 = 7x 30 = x x/50 as 16/25 x*25 = 50*16 x = 50*16/25 = 2*16 = 32
;o whoaa
ohh 30 i got 30
do you still think something is wrong?
