Question

What is the value of x in the proportion below ?

Answer 1

The value of x is 9.(................)

Answer 2

Answer: 9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given proportion : $\frac{\text{180 Kilometers}}{\text{3 hours}}=\frac{\text{540 Kilometers }}{x}$

To find the value of x , we need to multiply 3x hours and divide 180 Kilometers on both the sides, we get

$\text{x}=3\times\frac{540}{180}\text{hours}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=3\times3\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=9\text{ hours}$

Hence, the value of x = 9 hours.
