Answer 2

Given :

6:42 :: 8:?

To Find :

6 : 42 = 8 : x Find the value of x

Solution :

We can write the ratio  6 : 42 = $\frac{6}{42}$

rearrange the equation to find the value of x

$\frac{6}{42}=\frac{8}{x}$

By cross multiplication we find,

6x = 42 × 8

6x = 336     [dividing both side by 6]

x = $\frac{336}{6}$

x = 56

So the answer would be 6 : 42 :: 8 : 56
