Question

How do you solve `1.5:3 = x:12`?

Answer 1

`x=6`

Explanation:

To get from `1.5` to `3`, you multiply by `2`.

(`1.5xx2=3`).

So hence, for the ratio to be equivalent, you need to find a number, such that when you multiply it by `2`, you get `12`.

This number is hence `12/2=6`.

(`6xx2=12`)
