Question

If 35:10 :: x:14, find the value of ‘x’

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of $x$ is $49$.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : $35:10::x:14$

To find : The value of $x$.

Solution :

• The given expression is $35:10::x:14$.
• We have to find the value of $x$.
• To find the value of $x$, we should know that

    $a:b::c:d = (\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d})$

• Using this formula, we get

       $35:10::x:14$ = $(\frac{35}{10} = \frac{x}{14})$

• We have to solve this to get the value of $x$.
• By cross multiplication, we get

             $(\frac{35}{10} = \frac{x}{14})$

      ∴   $35*14=10x$  

             ∴ $490=10x$    

               ∴ $x=\frac{490}{10}$

               ∴ $x=49$

• ∴ The value of $x$ is $49$.
