Good morning!

Could someone please help me with this problem?

x:9=2/3:36

The answer is 0.1666

But this is what I keep getting:

x/9 = (2/3)/36

x 36/36= (2/3) x (9/1) /36

(2/3) x (9/1) /36 = 6

6/36 = 6

Thank you in advance!

Online, “*” is used to indicate multiplication to avoid confusion with “x” as an unknown.

Second step

x4/36 = (2/3)/36
