Question

Find the unknown number in the proportion 5/11 = х/94 Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

In the proportion

$\frac{5}{11}=\frac{x}{94}$

We do cross multiplication to get

$5\times94=11x$

simplifying the left-hand side gives

$11x=470$

dividing both sides by 11 gives

$x=42.73.$

which is our answer.
