1) To solve the first proportion, we first convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:8 1/8 = 65/82 1/2 = 5/2
Now we have:65/8 : 5/2 = 2 2/3 : x
Next we invert the second ratio:65/8 2/5 = 2 2/3 x
Multiplying the fractions:(65 2) / (8 5) = (8/3) * x130 / 40 = 8x/313/4 = 8x/3
Cross multiply to solve for x:3 13 = 8x 439 = 32xx = 39/32
Therefore, the value of x is 39/32.
2) To solve the second proportion, we have:24 : 36 = x : 4
Cross multiply:24 4 = 36 x96 = 36xx = 96 / 36x = 2.67
So, the value of x is 2.67.
3) To solve the third proportion:x : 9 = 15 : 24
Cross multiply:x 24 = 9 1524x = 135x = 135 / 24x = 5.625
Therefore, the value of x is 5.625.
1) To solve the first proportion, we first convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:
8 1/8 = 65/8
2 1/2 = 5/2
Now we have:
65/8 : 5/2 = 2 2/3 : x
Next we invert the second ratio:
65/8 2/5 = 2 2/3 x
Multiplying the fractions:
(65 2) / (8 5) = (8/3) * x
130 / 40 = 8x/3
13/4 = 8x/3
Cross multiply to solve for x:
3 13 = 8x 4
39 = 32x
x = 39/32
Therefore, the value of x is 39/32.
2) To solve the second proportion, we have:
24 : 36 = x : 4
Cross multiply:
24 4 = 36 x
96 = 36x
x = 96 / 36
x = 2.67
So, the value of x is 2.67.
3) To solve the third proportion:
x : 9 = 15 : 24
Cross multiply:
x 24 = 9 15
24x = 135
x = 135 / 24
x = 5.625
Therefore, the value of x is 5.625.
