Question

If 2/25 = n/500 what is n

Answer 1

2/5=n/500
Cross multiply
5n=1000
n=1000/5
n=200

Answer 2

Explanation:

To solve for n in the equation (2/25) = (n/500), you can cross-multiply and then solve for n:

2/25 = n/500

Cross-multiply:

2 * 500 = 25 * n

1000 = 25n

Now, divide both sides by 25 to isolate n:

1000/25 = 25n/25

40 = n

So, n = 40.
