Question

Find x in the following proportion 0.6 : 0.8 = 2.4 : x​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

= 0.6 : 0.8 : : 2.4 : x

= 0.6 × x = 0.8 × 2.4

= 0.6x = 1.92

= x = 1.92/0.6

= x = 3.2

Answer 2

Answer:

3.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given proportion

0.6:0.8::2.4:x

We know that if a:b::c:d then

=> a/b = c/d

Applying above rule

=> 0.6/0.8 = 2.4/x (by cross multiplication)

=> 0.6x = (24 × 8)/(10 × 10)

=> 6x/10 = 1.92

=> 6x = 19.2

=> x = 3.2

Hence missing proportion term is 3.2

Used formula:- if a:b::c:d then, a/b = c/d
