Answer 1

8

Explanation:

5 : 800 = x : 1280

x = 1280 * 5 / 800

x = 128 * 5 / 80

x = 128 / 16

x = 8

Answer 2

`\huge\boxed{\sf 8 \ packets}`

Explanation:

Given that,

Rs. 800 = 5 packets of tea

Using unitary method

Divide 800 to both sides

Rs. 1 = 5/800 packets of tea

Rs. 1 = 1/160 packets of tea

Multiply 1280 to both sides

Rs. 1 x 1280 = 1/160 x 1280 packets of tea

Rs. 1280 = 1280/160 packets of tea

Rs. 1280 = 8 packets of tea
