hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer:

x is 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's change the ratios into fractions for our simplicity.

$\frac{3}{2}$ is equivalent to $\frac{x}{4}$

If we multiplied 3 and 2 with 2; we would get $\frac{6}{4}$. Hence, x is 6.

How to know which number to multiply with to get the x value on LHS or RHS side.

1. Identify which side x is on.

2. Identify if it is on the numerator(upper) or denominator(lower) end.

3. For example, if 'x' is on the denominator; get the numerator numbers of both ratios.

4. Divide the numerators. Do this by preferably putting the higher number as the numerator and the lower number as a denominator so that you get a whole number.

5. The whole number gotten by this division is the number you need to multiply to the smaller ratio. This will make both sides equal even at least on the numerator or denominator side.

6. The above step will make it easy to find x.
