Question

What x-value makes the set of ratios equivalent? Tiles 2 : 3 = 6 : x ,4 : 7 = x : 42 , 2x : 48 = 3 : 12, 12 : 15 = x : 20

Answer 1

the first and fifth        

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2 : 3 = 6 : x ,

Ratio can be written as

$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{x}$

2*3 = 6, we multiply top  and bottom of fraction by 3

$\frac{2*3}{3*3} = \frac{6}{9}$

So value of x=9

4 : 7 = x : 42 ,

$\frac{4}{7} = \frac{x}{42}$

7*6 = 42, we multiply top  and bottom of fraction by 6

$\frac{4*6}{7*6} = \frac{24}{42}$

So value of x=24

2x : 48 = 3 : 12,

$\frac{2x}{48} = \frac{3}{12}$

\frac{3}{12}[/tex] = $\frac{2x}{48}12*4 = 48, we multiply top and bottom of fraction by 4[tex]\frac{3*4}{12*4} = \frac{12}{48}$

2x= 12, so x= 6

12 : 15 = x : 20

$\frac{12}{15} = \frac{x}{20}$

$15 * \frac{4}{3} = 20$,

we multiply top  and bottom   by 4/3

 $12 * \frac{4}{3} = 16$

So value of x=16
