What is the missing value: }" alt="\frac{16}{1}" align="absmiddle" class="latex-formula"> =$\frac{x}{2 \frac{1}{2} }$

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 40$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{16}{1} = \dfrac{x}{2 \frac{1}{2}}$

Convert the mixed numeral into a fraction.

$\dfrac{16}{1} = \dfrac{x}{\frac{5}{2}}$

Multiply both sides by 5/2.

$\dfrac{5}{2} \times \dfrac{16}{1} = x$

$x = \dfrac{80}{2}$

$x = 40$
