32 = 28

40 W

cross multiply so that 32W = (40*28)

then 32W = 1,120

now divide by 32 on both sides

32W = 1,120

32 32

so now it's only W = 1,120/32

which simply equals W = 35

THE FINAL ANSWER IS 35

I suggest you practice this question because throughout your educational career you will need to be able to solve this. Thank me later & good luck
