x:9=2/3:36
x*36 = 9 * 2/3
36x = 6
x = 1/6 = 0.1666
or,
x/9 = (2/3)/36
x/9 = 2/108
x/9 = 1/54
x = 9/54 = 1/6
maybe you should try some other proportions with less complicated numbers, to learn the method and why it works.
Good evening, I posted this question this morning. The answer that someone posted was not clear.
Could someone please help me with this problem?
x:9=2/3:36
The answer is 0.1666
But this is what I keep getting:
x/9 = (2/3)/36
x * 36/36= (2/3) * (9/1) /36
(2/3) * (9/1) /36 = 6
6/36 = 6
Thank you in advance!
