Answer 2

→Question: If 2:3 = x:18 , Find the value of x?

→Solution:

• 2:3=x:18
• 2×18=x×3
• Product of means=Product of extremes
• 36=3x
• x=³⁶⁄₃
• ∴x=12

→Verification:

• Product of means=Product of extremes
• means are 3 and 12
• extremes are 2 and 18
• 3×12 =2×18
• 36=36
• ∴We can confirm the value of x as 12.
