Question

What value of x makes this proportion true?
x/6=36/24

Answer 1

x/6 = 36/24.....cross multiply
(24)(x) = (36)(6)
24x = 216 -- now divide both sides by 24
x = 216/24
x = 9 <=== your answer

just to let you know, proportions are nothing but equivalent fractions.
9/6 = 3/2
36/24 = 3/2

Answer 2

9. because 36/24 reduces down to 3/2. x/6=3/2 is 9. 9/6.
