Answer 2

To find : the value of $x$.

Given ratio : $x: 6:: 5: 11$

Solution :

• As we can see that in the given ratio of proportion one of the ratio is missing.

• To find missing ratio we can write $x: 6:: 5: 11$  as, $\frac{x}{6}=\frac{5}{11}$

• transposing like terms we get,

      $\Rightarrow \quad x=\frac{5 \times 6}{11}$

• On simplifying we get,

    $\Rightarrow x= \frac{30}{11} \\\Rightarrow x = 2.72$

Hence, value of $x$ is $\frac{30}{11}$ or $2.72$ .
