Explanation

Just as "Stubborn" is a synonym for "Obstinate",
"Generous" is a synonym for "Magnanimous".

Explanation

Given the proportion:

40 : 60 = 50 : a

Let's solve for 'a' using the proportion:

40/60 = 50/a

40a = 50 × 60

40a = 3000

a = 3000 / 40

a = 75

Explanation

The given proportion is x : 72 :: 7 : 18.

This can be rewritten as x/72 = 7/18.

To find x, cross-multiply:

x × 18 = 7 × 72

18x = 504

x = 504 / 18

x = 28

Explanation
