Answer:
123 if your going to the nearest whole number
Step-by-step explanation:
Since
6 : 7 = X : 143
Then we know
6/7 = X/143
Multiplying both sides by 143 cancels on the right
143 × (6/7) = (X/143) × 143
143 × (6/7) = X
Then solving for X
X = 143 × (6/7)
X = 122.57142857143
Therefore
6 : 7 = 122.57142857143 : 143
