Question

REPOST !!!! Write a proportion using an unknown value x and the ratio 5 : 6. Then solve it.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio, 5:6, which is also the same as ⅚. In order to solve for the unknown value, x, we can establish the following proportion:

$\frac{x}{12} = \frac{5}{6}$

Perform cross-multiplication:

6x = 60

Divide both sides by 6:

$\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{60}{6}$

x = 10  

In order to verify its validity, substitute the value of x into the original proportion:

$\frac{10}{12} = \frac{5}{6}$

Perform cross-multiplication:

10 × 6 = 5 × 12

60 = 60 (True statement).

Therefore, the value of x = 10.
