Question #782b1 Algebra Linear Equations Equations with Ratios and Proportions 1 Answer Jam · Stefan V. Oct 28, 2017 #1/2 : 2/3 = 3/4 : 1# #x = 3/4# Explanation: To work out the value of #x#, we just need to figure out how to get from #2/3# to #1#, and do the same thing with the #1/2#. To get from #2/3# to #1#, we can multiply by #1.5#: #2/3 * 1.5 = 1# As we multiplied by #1.5# for #2/3#, we need to do the same thing with the #1/2#: #1/2 * 1.5 = 3/4# Therefore, #x = 3/4# and #1/2 : 2/3 = 3/4 : 1# Answer link Related questions What is the difference between proportions and ratios?
