Answer 2

Answer:

Value of $x$ is  $\frac{169}{9}$  .

Step-by-step explanation:

To find : the value of $x$

Given ratio : $169 : x:: 27: 3$

Solution :

• As we can see that in the given ratio of proportion $x$ is missing.
• To find value of $x$ we can write $169 : x:: 27: 3$  

        as, $\frac{169}{x} = \frac{27}{3}$

• Transposing  like terms we get,

       $\Rightarrow \quad x=\frac{169 \times 3}{27}$

• On simplifying we get,

      $\Rightarrow x =\frac{169}{9}$
