If 3/4 = x/20, then x = 3 × 20/4 = 15.
Scale measurements, recipes or quantities that share a constant ratio.
Keep the original input precision through the calculation and round the final answer to the precision you need. Rounding an intermediate result can change later steps.
Check the operation, units, signs and rounding first. Equivalent fractions or expressions can look different while representing the same value.
