Question

What is the solution to the problem 8/16 = x/10 1. x=10 2. x=5 3. x=12.8 4. x=80

Answer 1

(B) x = 5

Explanation:

8 / 16 = x / 10

Cross multiply

(8)*(10)=x*(16)

80=16x

Flip equation

16x=80

Divide both sides by 16

16x/ 16 = 80 / 16

x = 5

Answer 2

Answer:x=53

Explanation:

First, divide 8 by 16 and get 0.5. To find the answer, divide each x with 101. Since all the answers goes on very long, round them to the tenths. 53 will equal to 0.5.
