To solve the proportion \( \frac{1}{6} = \frac{x}{18} \), we can use cross-multiplication.
Cross-multiplying gives us:
\[
1 \cdot 18 = 6 \cdot x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
18 = 6x
\]
Now, we can solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides by 6:
\[
x = \frac{18}{6} = 3
\]
So, the missing number \( x \) is:
\[
x = 3
\]
Cross-multiplying gives us:
\[
1 \cdot 18 = 6 \cdot x
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
18 = 6x
\]
Now, we can solve for \( x \) by dividing both sides by 6:
\[
x = \frac{18}{6} = 3
\]
So, the missing number \( x \) is:
\[
x = 3
\]
