To find the value of x in the given proportion:
5:x = 10/27 : 1/18
First, let's simplify the ratios:
5:x = (10/27) / (1/18)
To divide fractions, we invert the second fraction and multiply:
5:x = (10/27) * (18/1)
Now, let's multiply the numerators and the denominators:
5:x = 180 / 27
Next, let's simplify the fraction:
5:x = 6.6667
We can round this to two decimal places:
5:x ≈ 6.67
So, the value of x in the given proportion is approximately 6.67.
