solve the proportion t/16=40/50
A.T=28
B.T=28
C.T=1.28
D.T=12.8
To solve the proportion t/16 = 40/50, you can cross multiply and then solve for t.
First, cross multiply:
t * 50 = 16 * 40
Next, simplify:
50t = 640
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 50 to solve for t:
t = 640/50
Now, let's calculate the value of t:
t = 12.8
Therefore, the answer is D. T = 12.8.
