Answer:

[tex]x = 8\ ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for stream

Required

Find x

To solve for x, we make use of the following equivalent ratio

[tex]4 : 6 = x : 12[/tex]

Convert to fractions

[tex]\frac{4}{6} = \frac{x}{12}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 12

[tex]12 * \frac{4}{6} = \frac{x}{12} * 12[/tex]

[tex]12 * \frac{4}{6} = x[/tex]

[tex]x = 12 * \frac{4}{6}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{12 * 4}{6}[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{48}{6}[/tex]

[tex]x = 8[/tex]
