Answer:

12.5

Explanation:

We can turn this into a cross - multiplication problem.

n / 7.5 = 25 / 15

All we have to do is cross multiply to get 15n = 7.5*25

As a result, we get 15n = 187.5

Divide by 15 on both sides to get 12.5

Double check

We can double check this answer by dividing 15/7.5 and 15/7.5, because ratios are the same if they are just multiplied versions of themselves

So, we get 2 for both answers, meaning that 12.5 is correct
