Answer:
4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to turn the ratio of 1 : 3 into a fraction
1:3 = 1/3
Next we need to square that fraction
1 x 1 = 1
3 x 3 = 9
Then we turn those numbers into a fraction
1/9
We turn the .5 into a fraction
.5/x
And cross multiply both fraction by each other
1/9 x .5/x
1 x X = X
9 x .5 = 4.5
So
4.5 = X
