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.
