Question

Find the unknown value in the proportion: 7⁄15 = x⁄75

Answer 1

`(7)/(15) = (x)/(75)` Multiply 75 to both sides of the equation

`(75)(7)/(15) =(x)/(75) (75)`

`(525)/(15) =x`

35 = x

Answer 2

We just need to multiply in a x format.

7/15 = x/75

Multiply 7 with 75 and 15 with x.

7 . 75 = 15 . x

525/15 = x

x = 35
