To find the correct proportion that gives the distance between the penguins and the fish tanks, we can set up a relationship based on the given distances and the corresponding distances of the whales to the sharks.
If the distance from the whales to the sharks is 30 and the distance from the penguins to the fish tanks is represented as \( x \), along with the distance between the whales and fish tanks being 45 and the distance from penguins to fish tanks being 54, we can set up the proportion:
\[ \frac{30}{45} = \frac{x}{54} \]
This corresponds to the second option you provided:
30 over 45 is equal to x over 54.
So, the correct answer is:
30/45 = x/54.
