Answer 1

x =
`(125)/(4)`

Explanation:

`(X)/(50)` =
`(40)/(64)`

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable

X =
`(40)/(64)` x 50

Simplify the fractions:

x =
`(5)/(4)` x 25

Write as a single fraction

x =
`(5*25)/(4)`

Calculate the product:

x =
`(125)/(4)`

Answer 2

X/50 = 40/64

To find x cross multiply:

64 * x = 50 * 40

Simplify:

64x = 2000

Divide both sides by 64:

X = 31.25
