t/16=40/50
1) 26
2) 28
3)1.28
4)12.8
4) 12.8
To solve the given equation t/16 = 40/50, you can cross-multiply to find the value of t.
Cross-multiplying means multiplying the numerator of the left-hand side with the denominator of the right-hand side, and multiplying the denominator of the left-hand side with the numerator of the right-hand side.
The equation t/16 = 40/50 can be written as: 50t = 40 * 16.
Now, you can simplify and solve for t:
50t = 640.
To isolate t, divide both sides of the equation by 50:
t = 640/50.
Calculating this, you get t = 12.8.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 4) 12.8.
To solve the equation t/16 = 40/50, you can cross-multiply and solve for t.
Cross-multiplying means multiplying the numerator of the left side of the equation (t) with the denominator of the right side (50), and multiplying the denominator of the left side (16) with the numerator of the right side (40).
(t) * (50) = (16) * (40)
Now, we can simplify the equation:
50t = 640
To solve for t, we divide both sides of the equation by 50:
t = 640/50
Simplifying the right side:
t = 12.8
So, the solution for t is 12.8.
Therefore, option 4) 12.8 is the correct answer.
