@texaschic101  can u help me?

texaschic101 · Answer

ratios are nothing but equivalent fractions..50:9 is the same as 50/9.

50/9 = x/27.....to find an equivalent fraction, you need to multiply numerator and denominator by the same number...notice how the 9, when multiplied by 3 is 27...and since you multiplied the denominator by 3, you have to multiply the numerator by 3.
So what is 50 * 3 ?

150

texaschic101 · Answer

or just solve it like a proportion..
50/9 = x/27..cross multiply, then solve for x

yes...
50/9 = 150/27
