Question

given that x:18:30=36:27:y, find the value of x and y​

Answer 1

For the given question the correct answer is:

x = 24, y = 45

Given:

x : 18 : 30 = 36 : 27 : y

x : 6 x 3 : 6 x 5 = 9 x 4 : 9 x 3 : y

Since x: 9 x 4, the main number on the x side should be multiplied by 4 as one right side.

               x = 6 x 4 =24

Similarly,

y = 9 x 5 = 45

so,the value of x is 24

and the value of y is 45
