Corresponding measures have the same ratio.
.. (x -1)/4 = (2x +1)/10
.. 5(x -1) = 2(2x +1) . . . . . . multiply by 20
.. 5x -5 = 4x +2 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. x = 7 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . add 5 -4x
x = 7
The answer is 4/8 because half of 16 is 8 and half of 8 is 4, therefore they are equivalent
