40/100= 56/x 40x=100(56) 40x=5600 Divide both sides by 40 to get x alone. X=140

40/100 = 56/x
0.4 = 56/x
x = 56/0.4 = 140

Therefore the original number is 140.

Velocity ratio of simple machine is the ratio of distance travelled by effort to the distance travelled by load in the machine.Mechanical advantage MA is the ratio of output (generated by the machine) force to input (applied to the machine) force. So MA = 4 means that for example if you apply 100 N then your machine will multiply that force and generate 400 N.
