what number compared to 9 is the same as 28 compared to 36

Sagot :

Let us assume that this is a ratio.

We will let x be the number.

[tex] \frac{x}{9} = \frac{28}{36} \\ 36x = (9)(28) \\ \frac{36x}{36} = \frac{252}{36} \\ x = 7[/tex]

Check:

[tex] \frac{x}{9} = \frac{28}{36} \\ \frac{7}{9} \times 1 = \frac{28}{36} \\ \frac{7}{9} \times \frac{4}{4} = \frac{28}{36} \\ \frac{28}{36} = \frac{28}{36} [/tex]

Therefore the number is 7.
