Х:2.4=4.8:7.2
х:2.4=0,(6)
х=1.6

Answer 2

To solve the proportion x : 2.4 = 4.8 : 7.2, you can cross-multiply and solve for x.

Cross-multiplying means multiplying the numerator of the first ratio with the denominator of the second ratio, and vice versa. In this case, it would be:

x * 7.2 = 2.4 * 4.8

Now, we can solve this equation for x:

7.2x = 11.52

To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 7.2:

x = 11.52 / 7.2

Calculating this division gives us:

x ≈ 1.6

Therefore, the value of x that satisfies the proportion is approximately 1.6.
