Question

Solve the following porportion.
x/25 = 2/5 x=

Answer 1

Answer: 10

=========================================

Work Shown:

x/25 = 2/5

5x = 25*2

5x = 50

x = 50/5

x = 10

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

Another approach:

x/25 = 2/5

x/25 = (2*5)/(5*5)

x/25 = 10/25

x = 10

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

Yet another method:

x/25 = 2/5

x/25 = 0.4

x = 25*0.4

x = 10
