Mode 4 · Missing Proportion Solver

Find Missing Value in Proportion (A : B = C : x)

Missing Value (x)
x = 12
2 : 3 = 8 : 12 → x = (3 × 8) ÷ 2

Ratio & Proportion Formulas

1. Simplify A : B → (A ÷ GCD(A,B)) : (B ÷ GCD(A,B))
2. Divide Amount M in Ratio p : q → Share₁ = M × p / (p + q),   Share₂ = M × q / (p + q)
3. Proportion A : B = C : x → x = (B × C) ÷ A

Frequently Asked Questions

Find the Greatest Common Divisor (GCD) of both numbers. For 12 and 18, the GCD is 6. Divide both terms by 6 to get the simplified ratio 2:3.

First add the ratio parts: 2 + 3 = 5 total parts. The first share is (1000 × 2) / 5 = 400, and the second share is (1000 × 3) / 5 = 600.

Write the proportion as a fraction equality: 2/3 = 8/x. Cross-multiply to get 2x = 24, then divide by 2 to find x = 12.

An equivalent ratio is formed by multiplying or dividing both terms of a ratio by the same non-zero number. For example, multiplying 2:3 by 2 produces 4:6.
