Solve the proportion <br> 5/x = 4/8 <br> A. 2 <br> B. 6 <br> C. 8 <br> D. 10
Oduvanchick [21]
5/x = 4/8

Simplify the fraction 4/8

Divide both the numerator and denominator by 4 to get 1/2

5/x = 1/2

Now, we cross multiply: a/b = c/d ⇒ ad = bc

5/x = 1/2
1(x) = 5(2)
x = 10

Your final answer is D. 10.
