Solve the proportion.start fraction t over 16 end fraction equals start fraction 40 over 50 end fraction
A. t =26
B. t = 28
C. t = 1.28
D. t = 12.8
To solve the proportion, you can cross-multiply:
t/16 = 40/50
Cross-multiplying gives:
50t = 16 x 40
Simplifying:
50t = 640
Divide both sides by 50:
t = 12.8
So the answer is (D) t = 12.8.
