Answer:
20 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we need to cross multiply. Lets input the values (4, 6, 30) as shown below:
[tex]\frac{4}{6} =\frac{x}{30}[/tex]
Next we cross multiply. We multiply 4 and 30, and we multiply 6 and x.
[tex]4(30) = 120[/tex]
[tex]6(x) = 6x[/tex]
Now, lets put the values above back into the equation:
[tex]6x = 120[/tex]
Our last step is to divide 120 by 6 to get x by itself.
[tex]x= \frac{120}{6}[/tex]
[tex]x=20[/tex]
The answer is 20 inches.
