One example of a proportion is "For every 3 red marbles, there are 5 blue marbles." This can be written as 3/5 = x/total marbles, which can be further solved to find the value of x or the total number of marbles.

3/5 = x

Sure! In this case, we can solve for the value of x.
To solve for x, we can set up a proportion equation:
3/5 = x/1
To find the value of x, we can cross-multiply:
(3)(1) = (5)(x)
3 = 5x
Now we can divide both sides by 5 to isolate x:
3/5 = x
So the value of x in this proportion is 3/5.
