To solve a proportion, you cross multiply. For example, if this was the proportion:
2/4 = 3/x, you would multiply 2 with x and 4 with 3. The products will be used in your next equation. In this case, your next equation is 2x = 12. Now you want to isolate x, so divide by two for both sides. Your answer will be x = 6.

How do you solve for missing sides in similar figures?

How can you solve problems involving percents?
That would depend on the specific problem. The "rule of three" (i.e., solving proportions) can help for many standard problems; i.e., you consider a proportion, where the percentage has a denominator of 100. Here are some examples:1) What's 17% of 2000? The proportion to solve is: 17/100 = x/2000 2) 500 is what percentage of 2000? The proportion to solve is: x/100 = 500/2000 3) 500 is 10% of what number? The proportion to solve is: 500/x = 10/100
Solve the proportion 1 over 8 equals x over 72?
x is 9.
Solve the proportion 5 over 6 equals x over 30?
5/6=x/30 150=6x 25=x
Solve the proportion 3 over 7 equals x over 63?
3/7=x/63 189=7x 27=x
How do you solve the proportion of something?
There cannot be a "proportion of something": proportion is a relationship between two things, and how you solve it depends on whether they (or their transformations) are in direct proportion or inverse proportion.

What is the easiest way to solve a proportion?
The easiest way to solve a proportion is by cross-multiplying. This means you multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction and set the two products equal to each other. For example, in the proportion ( \frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d} ), you would calculate ( a \times d = b \times c ). Then, you can solve for the unknown variable by isolating it in the resulting equation.
