Answer: 50/4 or 12.5

Explanation:

We can cross-multiply in this situation.

Cross-multiplying...


(10)/(8) = (n)/(10)

8n = 10(10) = 100

In other words, we multiply the denominator of 10/8, which is 8, by the numerator of n/10, which is n, and vice-versa.

Dividing 8 on both sides....

n = 100/8 = 50/4 = 12.5
