$\frac{1}{2} : \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3}{4} : 1$ $1/2 : 2/3 = 3/4 : 1$

$x = \frac{3}{4}$ $x = 3/4$

Explanation:

To work out the value of $x$ $x$ , we just need to figure out how to get from $\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$ to $1$ $1$ , and do the same thing with the $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ .

To get from $\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$ to $1$ $1$ , we can multiply by $1.5$ $1.5$ :

$\frac{2}{3} \cdot 1.5 = 1$ $2/3 * 1.5 = 1$

As we multiplied by $1.5$ $1.5$ for $\frac{2}{3}$ $2/3$ , we need to do the same thing with the $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ :

$\frac{1}{2} \cdot 1.5 = \frac{3}{4}$ $1/2 * 1.5 = 3/4$

Therefore, $x = \frac{3}{4}$ $x = 3/4$ and

$\frac{1}{2} : \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3}{4} : 1$ $1/2 : 2/3 = 3/4 : 1$
