Question

Find the value of x so that the ratios 8 : x and 12 : 18 are equivalent.

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

12:18=2:3 multiply by four to get 8 as the first term

8:12

8:x

so x is 12.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:

8 : x

12 : 18

to find the value of x, we need to convert 12 into 8. since they both have a common factor of 4, we can divide 12 by 3 to get 4, and then multiply it by 2 to get 8. in numerical terms, this is:

12 ÷ 3 = 4

4 × 2 = 8

now, we can do the same for 18.

18 ÷ 3 = 6

6 × 2 = 12

thus, 12 : 18 is equivalent to 8 : 12. x = 12.
