Answer 2

Answer:

x = 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's consider the following equality.

27:45=45:x​

We can write this proportion in the fractional form.

27/45 = 45/x

We can solve for x using the Cross Product Property of Proportions.

27 × x = 45 × 45

27 × x = 2025

x = 2025/27

x = 75

The unknown number that satisfies the proportion is x = 75.
