Question

The equivalent ratio of 120:x is 27:36, the value of x is ________.

  1. 160
  2. 50
  3. 60
  4. 20

hintHint:

By doing cross multiplication we obtained a value of x.

The correct answer is: 160


    Step 1 of 1:
    In this question, we were asked to find the value of x by giving two equivalent ratios. We can find the value of y by using cross multiplication
    Given equivalent ratios are  120:x and 27:36
    So we can find x by cross multiplication as
    120 over x equals 27 over 36
    x equals 120 cross times 36 over 27
    x = 160
    Final Answer:
    The right choice is-- a. 160
