<u><em>Solution:</em></u>
We have to find the value of "n" in the proportion
<em><u>Given proportion is:</u></em>
<em><u></u></em><em><u></u></em>
We can solve the above proportion by cross-multiplying
Multiply the numerator of the left-hand fraction by the denominator of the right-hand fraction
Multiply the numerator of the right-hand fraction by the denominator of the left-hand fraction
Set the two products equal to each other
Solve for the variable
Thus the value of n in given proportion is 16
x/240 = 82/100
240 : 100 = 2.4
so 240 is divided with 2,4 giving 100, this will work with 82 too. So, 82 × 2.4 = 196,8
Answer : x = 196,8
prove :
196,8/240 = 82/100 = 41/50
