Step 1. Given

The given proportion is $\frac{5}{6} = \frac{x}{30}$ .

Step 2. To determine

We have to solve the proportion using equivalent ratios.

Step 3. Calculation

Solve the given proportion.

$\begin{matrix} \frac{5}{6} = \frac{x}{30} \\ \frac{5}{6 \times 5} = \frac{x}{30} [compare denominators] \\ \frac{5 \times 5}{30} = \frac{x}{30} [find x] \\ x = 5 \times 5 \\ = 25 \end{matrix}$

So, the solution is $x = 25$ .
