Question

Solve the proportion.
X/10 = 5/8

Answer 1

• x = 50/8
• x = 6.25

Explanation:

Given proportion,

→ x/10 = 5/8

Now we have to,

→ Find the required value of x.

Then the value of x will be,

→ x/10 = 5/8

→ x = (5/8) × 10

→ x = (5 × 10)/8

→ x = 50/8

→ [ x = 6.25 ]

Hence, the value of x is 6.25.

Answer 2

• x = 6.25

----------------

Multiply both sides by 10:

• 10 × x/10 = 10 × 5/8
• x = 50/8
• x = 6.25
