To solve for x, we can set up the proportion:
5/6 = x/5/12
Cross multiply to solve for x:
5 5/12 = 6 x25/12 = 6xx = 25/72
Now, to solve for x in the second proportion:
x / 4/9 = 8/27
Simplify by multiplying by the reciprocal:
x * 9/4 = 8/279x/4 = 8/27
27 9x = 4 8243x = 32
Now divide by 243 to solve for x:
x = 32/243
Therefore, x = 25/72 in the first proportion and x = 32/243 in the second proportion.
