Math Problem Statement

27/329 = 28/?

Solution

The given ratio is:

27329=28?\frac{27}{329} = \frac{28}{?}

To solve for the unknown value (denote it as xx), we can cross-multiply:

27×x=28×32927 \times x = 28 \times 329

First, calculate 28×32928 \times 329:

28×329=921228 \times 329 = 9212

Now, divide both sides by 27:

x=921227341.19x = \frac{9212}{27} \approx 341.19

So, the value of xx is approximately 341.19.
