1/2 : 2/3 = 3/4 : 112:23=34:1

x = 3/4x=34

Explanation:

To work out the value of xx, we just need to figure out how to get from 2/323 to 11, and do the same thing with the 1/212.

To get from 2/323 to 11, we can multiply by 1.51.5:

2/3 * 1.5 = 1231.5=1

As we multiplied by 1.51.5 for 2/323, we need to do the same thing with the 1/212:

1/2 * 1.5 = 3/4121.5=34

Therefore, x = 3/4x=34 and

1/2 : 2/3 = 3/4 : 112:23=34:1
