hi

To solve the proportion x/2 = 8/9, we can use the concept of cross-multiplication. Here's how to do it:

1. Start by cross-multiplying. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction (x) by the denominator of the second fraction (9), and multiply the denominator of the first fraction (2) by the numerator of the second fraction (8). It will look like this:

( x * 9 ) = ( 2 * 8 )

This simplifies to:

9x = 16

2. Next, isolate the variable x by dividing both sides of the equation by 9:

( 9x ) / 9 = ( 16 ) / 9

This simplifies to:

x = 16/9

3. Finally, simplify the fraction 16/9 if needed. It will be equal to:

x = 1.77...

So, the value of x in the proportion x/2 = 8/9 is approximately 1.77.
