You asked:

Solve \(20 : 24=n : 6\) for the variable \(n\).

MathBot Answer:

$$\begin{aligned}n &= 5\end{aligned}$$

Express both ratios as fractions. \[\frac{20}{24} = \frac{n}{6}\]

Cross-multiply and solve for the unknown. $$\begin{aligned}\frac{20}{24} &= \frac{n}{6} \\ 120 &= 24 n \\ n &&= 5 \end{aligned}$$
