To find the missing value of x in the proportion 5 1/3 : x = 20 : 60, we can first convert the mixed number 5 1/3 to an improper fraction.
5 1/3 = 16/3
Now we can set up the proportion:
16/3 : x = 20 : 60
Next, cross multiply to solve for x:
(16/3) * 60 = 20 * x
(16/3) * 60 = 320/3
Now, solve for x:
320/3 = 20x
x = (320/3) / 20
x = 320/60
x = 5 1/3
Therefore, the missing value of x in the proportion is 5 1/3.
5 1/3 = 16/3
Now we can set up the proportion:
16/3 : x = 20 : 60
Next, cross multiply to solve for x:
(16/3) * 60 = 20 * x
(16/3) * 60 = 320/3
Now, solve for x:
320/3 = 20x
x = (320/3) / 20
x = 320/60
x = 5 1/3
Therefore, the missing value of x in the proportion is 5 1/3.
