Answer:
[tex]m = 7[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]3:18 = m:42[/tex]
Required
Solve for m
[tex]3:18 = m:42[/tex]
Convert to fraction
[tex]\frac{3}{18} = \frac{m}{42}[/tex]
Multiply both sides by 42
[tex]42 * \frac{3}{18} = \frac{m}{42} * 42[/tex]
[tex]42 * \frac{3}{18} = m[/tex]
[tex]m = 42 * \frac{3}{18}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{42 * 3}{18}[/tex]
[tex]m = \frac{126}{18}[/tex]
[tex]m = 7[/tex]
