Question

. Find value of x if 2, 3, x.16 are in proportion​

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution :

Given that 2, 16, 5, x are in proportion

product of exterms = Product of means

`2 x = 16 xx 5`

`x = ( 16 xx 5)/2= 8 xx 5 Rightarrow x= 40`

Answer 2

Answer:32/16 = 2/1

again, 16/x= 2/1

i.e. x=16/2 = 8

cross check :

32/16 = 2

16/2 = 2

therefor the proportion becomes 32:16:8
