6 is your answer good luck
Answer:
6 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion as 18/x=6/2. The meters are unknown, so that’s what the x value represents. Then, cross multiply (18 times 2 and 6 times x) to get 36=6x. By dividing both sides of the equation by 6, you’ll get 6 meters as your answer.
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!! 😀
