Solve for the x in the following prpportion x/60 = 9/5
Cross multiply:
x/60 = 9/5
5x = 540
Solve for x.
If both terms are equal, that is:
x / 60 = 9 / 5
Then, x is to 9, as 60 is to 5.
60 = 5 * 12
so, x = 9 * 12
thus, x = 108.
To solve for x in the proportion x/60 = 9/5, we can cross-multiply.
Cross-multiplying means multiplying the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction and vice versa.
So, x/60 = 9/5 becomes (x * 5) = (9 * 60).
Multiplying across, we have 5x = 540.
To isolate x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5, which gives us:
x = 540/5.
Simplifying the right side of the equation, we have:
x = 108.
Therefore, the value of x in the given proportion x/60 = 9/5 is 108.
