Question

Find X to complete the following ratio. 12:5 = 24:X

Answer 1

x = 10

Explanation:

This is the answer because:

1) 12:5 is equivalent to the ration 24:10

2) This is because to get 24 you have to multiply 12 and 2 which is 24

3) Next, you have to do the same to the other side to make everything equal. Therefore, you have to multiply 5 with 2 which is 10.

4) Finally, your answer should be 24:10
