Fill in the blank 2:7 = ___:21

Correct Answer
6

Explanation
To solve this proportion, we can set up a cross-multiplication equation. The ratio 2:7 is equal to an unknown ratio x:21. Cross-multiplying gives us 2 * 21 = 7 * x. Simplifying this equation gives us 42 = 7x. Dividing both sides by 7 gives us x = 6. Therefore, the missing value in the proportion is 6.
