The cross products of the proportion are equal.
According to the question, Sonny's equation can be written as follows.
16/x = 48/15
Now, the variable x is replaced by the constant 5. So the equation can now be written as follows.
16/5 = 48/15
When two fractions are equal to one another as shown above, the constants are cross multiplied with one another in order to form an equation.
16*15= 48*5
The values of both the products are equal which is 240.
Therefore, because the cross products of the proportion are equal.
