Question

If 9 : 12 : 18 = x : y : 12, then find the values of x and y.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6 , y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it is a ratio , some number multiplied by 18 gives you 12.

Let that number be a.

18a = 12

a = 12/18

a = 2/3

Then, 9a = 9 × 2/3

=6

12a = 12 × 2/3

= 8

Therefore, x = 6

y = 8
