Answer:
x = 12
Explanation:
8 : x
12 : 18
to find the value of x, we need to convert 12 into 8. since they both have a common factor of 4, we can divide 12 by 3 to get 4, and then multiply it by 2 to get 8. in numerical terms, this is:
12 ÷ 3 = 4
4 × 2 = 8
now, we can do the same for 18.
18 ÷ 3 = 6
6 × 2 = 12
thus, 12 : 18 is equivalent to 8 : 12. x = 12.
