Question

3:1 =6:x what is the value of x​

Answer 1

3:1 = 6:2 (x=2)

Explanation:

Think of ratios as a fraction

3/1 = 6/x

to get from 3 to 6 you multiply it by 2. now for the ratio to be the same, you have to multiply the denominator by 2 as well. 2 x 1 = 2. therefore it would be 6/2. you can notice that if you simplify it, it is equal to 3/1. it is the same thing with ratios.

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

`(3)/(1) = (6)/(x)`

`3x = 6`

`x = 2`
