Question

8 : 6 :: x : 48 find the value of x

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that 8 : 6 : : x : 48

We know that product of means = product of extremes

Here, 6 and x are means

and 8 and 48 are extremes

So according to the formula, 6*x = 8*48

=>    x = 64

Answer 2

Answer:

∴ The required value of $x$ in proportion $8:6::x:48$ is $64$.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In context with the question asked,
• We have to find the value of $x$ in the proportion $8:6::x:48$.
• The given proportion can be written as,

          $\frac{8}{6} = \frac{x}{48}$

• To find the value of $x$, we have to do cross multiplication.
• By cross multiplication, we get

         ∴ $6x= 8 \times 48$

         ∴ $6x=384$

• Transpose $6$ to other side, we get

           ∴ $x=\frac{384}{6}$

           ∴ $x=64$

• ∴ The required value of $x$ in proportion $8:6::x:48$ is $64$.
