Question

The ratio of 4:8 is equivalent to x:6, what is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4:8 :: x:6

Product of means = 8*x = 8x

Product of extremes = 4*6

$8x=4*6\\\\x=\frac{4*6}{8}\\\\x=3$

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4 : 8 = x : 6, expressing in ratio form, that is

$\frac{4}{8}$ = $\frac{x}{6}$ ( cross-  multiply )

8x = 24 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = 3

Thus 4 : 8 = 3 : 6
