Well to find X of three values we either use unitary method or ratio and proportion. Ratio and proportion can be easier for people as well as hard. Like suppose- if a farmer sells 4 kg wheat for 300 rupees how much will he sell 5 kg wheat for?
here you can use unitary method too but I feel ratio and proportion is easier
so as per the first step we write here:
let the other number be X
therefore, 4 : 300 :: 5 : X
Now multiply the middle terms which are- 300×5
then multiply 4 into X
now divide 4 by 300 × 5 to find X
basically it's all the game of reciprocal
so,
= 300×5/4
= 150×5/2
= 75×5
= 375
the farmer sold 5 kg wheat for rupees 375
hopefully it helps you!
