Proportion:
A proportion is a statement that two ratios or rates are equal.
If

\frac{a}{b}

and

\frac{c}{d}

are two ratios or rates, then

\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}

is a proportion.
It can be read as "a is to b as c is to d"

a \cdot d = b \cdot c

is the set of cross products.
Given proportion,

\frac{0.4}{x} = \frac{2}{4.7}

x \cdot 2 = 0.4 \cdot 4.7

x = \frac{0.2 \cdot 2 \cdot 4.7}{2}

Cancel the common factor 2

x = 0.2 \cdot 4.7

x = 0.94

Therefore, the value of

x = 0.94
