Question

Plzzzzz help ASAP!!!!!! Solve: x/32=15/20

Answer 1

Answer: x = 24

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x in the given proportion, we use the means-extremes property.

The product of the extremes, (x)(20),

equals the product of the means, (32)(15).

So we have (x)(20) or 20x equals (32)(15) or 480.

So we have 20x = 480.

Dividing both sides by 20, x = 24.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{x=24}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\displaystyle \frac{x}{32} =\frac{15}{20}$

$\sf Cross \ multiply.$

$20 \times x=32 \times 15$

$20x=480$

$\sf Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 20.$

$\displaystyle \frac{20x}{20} =\frac{480}{20}$

$x=24$
