You asked:

Solve \(n : 6=28 : 84\) for the variable \(n\).

MathBot Answer:

$$\begin{aligned}n &= 2\end{aligned}$$


Express both ratios as fractions. \[\frac{n}{6} = \frac{28}{84}\]

Cross-multiply and solve for the unknown. $$\begin{aligned}\frac{n}{6} &= \frac{28}{84} \\ 84 n &= 168 \\ n &&= 2 \end{aligned}$$
