You asked:

Solve \(n : 7=6 : 21\) for the variable \(n\).

MathBot Answer:

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

Express both ratios as fractions. \[\frac{n}{7} = \frac{6}{21}\]

Cross-multiply and solve for the unknown. $$\begin{aligned}\frac{n}{7} &= \frac{6}{21} \\ 21 n &= 42 \\ n &&= 2 \end{aligned}$$
