Question

If the equivalent ratio of 255:289 is x:17, the value of x is _______.

  1. 10
  2. 11
  3. 13
  4. 15

hintHint:

By comparing two equivalent ratios and applying cross multiplication we obtained the value of x as 15.

The correct answer is: 15


Step 1 of 1:
In the question, we were given two equivalent ratios and asked to find the value of x using the given ratios so we can use cross multiplication to solve this question.
Given ratios are 255:289 and x:17
We can use cross multiplication for that we can write given equations as follows:
255 over 289 equals x over 17
→ x equals 17 cross times 255 over 289
→ x=15
Final Answer:
The right choice is-- d. 15
