Solve the proportion. Where necessary, round to the nearest hundredth.
12/3 = x/13
Is 156 right?
No.
You need to divide by 3.
12/3 = x/13
3x = 156
To solve the proportion 12/3 = x/13, we can cross multiply:
3 * x = 12 * 13
Now simplify the equation:
3x = 156
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 3:
x = 156/3
x = 52
Therefore, the value of x is 52, not 156.
To solve the proportion 12/3 = x/13, we can use the property of proportions that states that the cross products of a proportion are equal.
First, let's rewrite the proportion: 12/3 = x/13
Now, we can set up the equation:
12 * 13 = 3 * x
156 = 3x
To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by 3:
156/3 = x
x = 52
Therefore, the value of x in the proportion 12/3 = x/13 is 52.
So, no, 156 is not the correct value. The correct value for x is 52.
