Question

Solve the proportion.

16 x
---- == -------
50 156.25

Answer 1

the text got messed up so: 15/50 = x/156.25

Answer 2

I can't parse your fractions. Try typing fractions like

16/50
or
16x/50 = 15/6.25
or something, using the virgule instead of the vinculum

Answer 3

46.875

Solution:
15/50 = x/156.25 (reduce convert)
3/10 = x/625/4 (simplify the expression)
3/10 = 4x/625 (cross multiplying)
1875 = 40x (swapping the sides)
40x = 1875 (dividing)
x = 375/8 or 46.875 (answer)

Answer 4

ah, better

15/50 = x/156.25
so that means
15/50 * 156.25 = x

To solve the proportion, cross-multiply and then divide.

First, cross-multiply by multiplying the numerator of the left side (16) by the denominator of the right side (156.25), and multiply the denominator of the left side (50) by the numerator of the right side (x). This gives:

16 * 156.25 = 50 * x

Next, simplify the equation:

2500 = 50 * x

Now, divide both sides of the equation by 50 to solve for x:

2500 / 50 = x

Simplifying further:

50 = x

Therefore, the value of x that solves the proportion is 50.
