Question:
Calculate the value of x:
30 : 45 = 18 : x
A
x = 27
explanation
To find the unknown value in a ratio, we rewrite the ratios as fractions and use some conversions or cross-multiply.
Step 1: Rewrite the ratios as fractions
30:45 = 18:x is equivalent to (30/45) = (18/x)
Step 2: Cross-multiply the fractions
30 × x = 18 × 45
30x = 810
Step 3: Divide both sides by 30 to get x
(30x/30) = (810/30)
810 ÷ 30 = 27
x = 27
