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.

nasty-shy [4]

Hwong could fill 12 packets of coffee in small boxes:

He has 10 boxes, so 10 x 12 = 120 packets total

Hwong's packets of coffee in the large boxes:

He can fit 50 packets into the boxes, so 120/50 = 2 large boxes and a remaining 20 packets of coffee

Therefore, Hwong can fit 12 packets of coffee to 1 small box and 8 packets to the other small box
