Question

Write the correct proportion. 5 is to 19 as x is to 250

Answer 1

This problem is basically asking:

$\frac{5}{19} =\frac{x}{250}$

Which would mean $x=\frac{5*250}{19}=\frac{1250}{19}$

Answer 2

this can be written as

5/19 = x/250

if you cross multiply you can solve for x

19x = 1250

x = 65.789
