Question

Find the value of R in the given proportion: R : 30 : : 24 : 16

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

R : 30 : : 24 : 16

To find:-

Find the value of R in the given proportion:

Solution:-

Given Proportion that

R : 30 : : 24 : 16

Extremes = R and 16

Means = 30 and 24

Product of extremes = R×16 = 16R

Product of means = 30×24 = 720

we know that

In proportion, Product of means = Product of extremes

=>16R = 720

=>R = 720/16

=>R = 45

The value of R = 45

Answer:-

The value of R for the given problem is 45

Check:-

The proportion becomes 45:30::24:16

Product of extremes = 45×16 = 720

Product of means = 30×24 = 720

They are in the Proportion

Verified the given relation

Used formula:-

• The equality of two ratios is called a proportion.

• In proportion, Product of means = Product of extremes

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

X : 30 :: 24 : 16

16 × X = 30×24

X=45
