Find x
To solve for x, we make use of the following equivalent ratio
[tex]4 : 6 = x : 12[/tex]
Convert to fractions
[tex]\frac{4}{6} = \frac{x}{12}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 12
[tex]12 * \frac{4}{6} = \frac{x}{12} * 12[/tex]
[tex]12 * \frac{4}{6} = x[/tex]
[tex]x = 12 * \frac{4}{6}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{12 * 4}{6}[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{48}{6}[/tex]
[tex]x = 8[/tex]
