identify the value of x that makes each pair of the ratios equivalent 6 to 8 and 18 to x
A.20
B:22
C:24
note: ms.sue if ur going to give me links plz don't reply to this question (i mean no disrespect)
If one term of a proportion is not known, cross multiplication can be used to find the value of that term.
x 3
-- = --
70 10
x * 10 = 70 * 3
10x = 210
10x 210
--- = ---
10 10
x = 21

Which of the following are equivalent to 25%
To determine the value of x that makes the ratios 6 to 8 and 18 to x equivalent, we need to set up a proportion.
The proportion can be written as:
6/8 = 18/x
To solve for x, we can use cross-multiplication:
6 * x = 8 * 18
Simplifying further:
6x = 144
Now, divide both sides of the equation by 6 to isolate x:
x = 144 / 6
Simplifying the division:
x = 24
Hence, the value of x that makes the ratios 6 to 8 and 18 to x equivalent is 24.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C: 24.
