Answer 2

The value of x is 14

GIVEN:

72:18::56:x

To find:

The value of x

Solution:

Given that 72:18::56:x

Now, we need to calculate the value of x

Assume that,  in a:b :: c:d,

Product of means (b \times c) = Product of extremes $(\mathrm{a} \times \mathrm{d})$

Thus, by using this formula in the given ratio 72:18 :: 56:x

we get,  

$18 \times 56=72 \times x$

Now, calculate the x value by shifting other terms to one side,

$x=\frac{18 \times 56}{72}$

x = 14  

Therefore, the value of x  in 72:18::56:x is 14
