To determine

To calculate: The solution of the proportion.

Answer to Problem 6.5.3EP

The required solution is 35.2.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The proportion: $\frac{6}{11}=\frac{19.2}{g}$

Calculation:

The given proportion is $\frac{6}{11}=\frac{19.2}{g}$ .

Apply cross-multiplication on the above proportion and simplify for g .

  $\begin{array}{c}\frac{6}{11}=\frac{19.2}{g}\\ 6\times g=11\times 19.2\\ 6g=211.2\end{array}$

Divide both sides of the above expression by 6.

  $\begin{array}{c}\frac{\cancel{6}g}{\cancel{6}}=\frac{211.2}{6}\\ g=35.2\end{array}$

Hence, the required solution is 35.2.
