Answer: x = 10

Explanation:

Let's say that the unknown is x.

{2/5 = ?/25}

Step 1. 2/5 = x/25

Step 2. Multiply by 25 on both sides. 2/(5 * 25) = x/(25 * 25)

Step 3. 2 * 5 = x

Step 4. 10 = x

Step 5. Let's check the answer x; 2/5 = 10/25

Step 6. Simplify; 2/5 = (10/5) / (25/5)

Step 7. Check; 2/5 = 2/5

This answer is true
