The ratio of nitrogen to potassium is said to be : 12 : 9
Now, the given sample for the units of nitrogen is 36.
Let's find out how much will be the value of potassium
.=> 12 : 9 = 36 : x , where x will be the value of the potassium.First, let's multiply the inner value of the proportion
=> 9 * 36 = 324
=> 324 / 12 = 27
Now, the ratio: 12 : 9 = 36 : 27
