identify the value of x that makes each pair of ratios equivalent. 2:x and 12:18
AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
2/3 = 12/18
To determine the value of x that makes the ratios 2:x and 12:18 equivalent, we can set up a proportion:
2:x = 12:18
To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply:
2 * 18 = 12 * x
36 = 12x
Next, we can solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 12:
36/12 = x
3 = x
Therefore, the value of x that makes the ratios equivalent is 3.
To determine the value of x that makes the pair of ratios 2:x and 12:18 equivalent, we need to set up a proportion and solve for x.
First, let's write the ratios as fractions:
2:x and 12:18 can be written as 2/x and 12/18.
Now, set up the proportion:
2/x = 12/18
To solve the proportion, we can cross-multiply:
2 * 18 = 12 * x
36 = 12x
Next, divide both sides of the equation by 12 to isolate x:
36/12 = 12x/12
3 = x
Therefore, the value of x that makes the pair of ratios equivalent is 3.
