help me
16/50 = x/156
50x = 2496
x = 49.92
To solve the proportion, we can cross-multiply and then solve for x.
Cross-multiplying means multiplying the numerator of the left fraction (16) by the denominator of the right fraction (156) and vice versa.
First, let's cross multiply:
16 * 156 = 50 * x
Now, let's simplify:
2496 = 50x
To find x, divide both sides of the equation by 50:
2496 / 50 = x
x = 49.92
Therefore, x is approximately 49.92.
To solve the proportion, we need to cross multiply.
The given proportion is:
16 / 50 = x / 156
To cross multiply, we multiply the extremes (16 and 156) and the means (50 and x):
16 * 156 = 50 * x
Now we can simplify both sides of the equation:
2496 = 50x
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Since 50 is multiplied by x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 50:
2496 / 50 = x
Simplifying the left side:
49.92 = x
So, x is equal to 49.92.
