The way you have your data is unclear. Do you mean:
16/50 = x/156 * 25 or
16/50 = x/(156*25) or
neither of these?

To solve a proportion, you can set up a cross-product equation. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Write the proportion:
16/50 = x/156.25
Step 2: Cross-multiply:
(16)(156.25) = (50)(x)
Step 3: Simplify:
2500 = 50x
Step 4: Solve for x by dividing both sides by 50:
x = 2500 / 50
Step 5: Calculate the value of x:
x = 50
Therefore, the value of x in the given proportion is 50.
