Answer 2

Concept:

The mathematical comparison of two numbers is called a percentage. These figures frequently serve as a comparison between various objects or individuals.

A ratio is a comparison of two or more numbers that shows how large one number is in comparison to another.

If the ratio between the first and second is equal to the ratio between the second and third, three quantities are said to be in continuing proportion.

Given:

$x,4,8$ are in continued proportion.

Find:

The value of $x$.

Solution:

If three numbers x, y, and z are in continued proportion.

Then x : y = y : z .

Now, x, 4, 8 are in continued proportion.

Therefore,

$x:4=4:8$

$\frac{x}{4} =\frac{4}{8}$

$x\times 8=4\times 4\\\\8x=16\\x=2$

The value of x is 2.
