Question

Can someone please solve 2/8 = n/20

Answer 1

n=5

Explanation:

2/8 = n/20

Using cross products

2 * 20 = 8*n

40 = 8n

Divide each side by 8

40/8 = 8n/8

5 =n

Answer 2

`n=5`

Explanation:

We have the following expression
`(2)/(8) = (n)/(20)` and we must solve for variable n.

To solve the equation multiply by 20 on both sides of the equality and you will get the following

`20*(2)/(8) = 20*(n)/(20)`

`(20*2)/(8) = (20n)/(20)`

`(40)/(8) = n`

`n= (40)/(8)`

Finally we have that:

`n=5`
