Question

Please help!
and if someone could also explain that would be great!

Answer 1

95

Explanation:

Hey There!

So when given the equation

`(2)/(5) = (38)/(x)` we use cross multiplication

so 38 x 5 and 2 x x

38x5=190

2xx=2x

now we have

2x=190

The last step is to divide each side by 2

2/2 cancels out

190/2=95

x=95

So we can conclude that the answer is 95

And even if you want to we can check our work

`(2)/(5) = .4`

`(38)/(95) = .4`

thus

`(2)/(5) =(38)/(95)`
