Solving the Proportion \$3:12\$::\$5:x\$.

2

Step

Given Proportion

\$3:12\$::\$5:x\$

3

Step

First, convert the provided proportion into a fraction

\$3/12\$ = \$5/x\$

4

Step

To solve the proportion, begin by cross-multiplying

\$3 \times x\$ = \$12 \times 5\$

⇒ \$3x = 60\$

Step

The value of x is:

\$ x\$ = \$60/3\$ = \$20\$
