Find the value of x in the proportion. Check your answer.

Question

StartFraction 4 Over x EndFraction equals two ninths

Answer 1

To find the value of x, we can set up the proportion:

4/x = 2/9

Cross multiply to solve for x:

4 * 9 = 2 * x
36 = 2x
x = 36/2
x = 18

So, the value of x is 18.

To check our answer, we can substitute x = 18 back into the original proportion:

4/18 = 2/9
2/9 = 2/9

Therefore, our answer is correct.
