Question

X/50=40/64 solve for x

Answer 1

X/50 = 40/64

To find x cross multiply:

64 * x = 50 * 40

Simplify:

64x = 2000

Divide both sides by 64:

X = 31.25

Answer 2

Answer:

x = $\frac{125}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{X}{50}$ = $\frac{40}{64}$

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of variable

X = $\frac{40}{64}$ x 50

Simplify the fractions:

x = $\frac{5}{4}$ x 25

Write as a single fraction

x = $\frac{5*25}{4}$

Calculate the product:

x = $\frac{125}{4}$
