Question

Find x in this porportion 5/2x =25/4

Answer 1

x = 2/5

Explanation:

5/2x} = 25/4 (cross- multiply)

25 × 2x = 5 × 4

50x = 20 (divide both sides by 50)

x = 20/50

x = 2/5

Answer 2

x =
`(2)/(5)`

Explanation:

Given

`(5)/(2x)` =
`(25)/(4)` ( cross- multiply )

25 × 2x = 5 × 4

50x = 20 ( divide both sides by 50 )

x =
`(20)/(50)` =
`(2)/(5)`
