Question

Plzzzzz help ASAP!!!!!! Solve: x/32=15/20

Answer 1

`\boxed{x=24}`

Explanation:

`\displaystyle (x)/(32) =(15)/(20)`

`\sf Cross \ multiply.`

`20 * x=32 * 15`

`20x=480`

`\sf Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 20.`

`\displaystyle (20x)/(20) =(480)/(20)`

`x=24`

Answer 2

Answer: x = 24

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x in the given proportion, we use the means-extremes property.

The product of the extremes, (x)(20),

equals the product of the means, (32)(15).

So we have (x)(20) or 20x equals (32)(15) or 480.

So we have 20x = 480.

Dividing both sides by 20, x = 24.
