Answer 2

Answer:

∴ The value of $x$ is $28$.

The ratio becomes $7:4=28:16$.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In context with question asked,
• We have to find the value of $x$.
• The given ratios are, $7:4=x:16$
• We can rewrite the ratios as,

           $\frac{7}{4} = \frac{x}{16}$

• By cross multiplication, we get

    ∴ $7\times 16=4\times x$

         ∴ $4x=112$

• By transposing $4$ to other side, we get

           ∴ $x=\frac{112}{4}$

           ∴ $x=28$

• ∴ The value of $x$ is $28$.
• The ratio becomes $7:4=28:16$.
