What does the x equal? 4:16=x:4
- A.
1:8
- B.
4:1

14
- D.
1
Correct Answer
D. 1Explanation
The given equation is a proportion, where the ratio of 4:16 is equal to the ratio of x:4. To solve this proportion, we can cross multiply. By multiplying 4 and x, we get 4x, and by multiplying 16 and 4, we get 64. Therefore, the equation becomes 4x = 64. To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 4, which gives us x = 16. However, none of the answer choices match this value of x. Therefore, the correct answer is not available.Rate this question:
