Solve The Proportion
16 over 50 = x over 156.25, I got 50
I multiplied 50 by 3 & got 150, 3.1 to 155, 3.12 to 156, & 3.125 to 156.25. I multiplied 16 by 3.125 & got 50. Is this right or did I do something wrong?
Watch what you say, Christain.
x/156.25 = 16/50 = 8/25
multiply both sides by 156.25
x = 156.25(8/25) = 50
you had that, so you are correct
As to your:
I multiplied 50 by 3 & got 150, 3.1 to 155, 3.12 to 156, & 3.125 to 156.25
I don't have the foggiest idea what all that is about.
Here's what you do. Look at what's diagonal. You can see that 16 and 156.25 are diagonal. Multiply those to get 2500. Then divide your answer by 50 (because 50 doesn't have anything diagonal of it) to get 50. I believe you did the process very wrong, but your answer was correct.
The answer for this proportion is 50.
156.25 times 16 =2,500
2,500 divided by 50=50
X=50
ok so x = 50 because 156.25 times 16 = 2,500 and 2,500 divided by 50 is 50 so x = 50 hope that helped
what is the answer
hello, it's obvious!
The answer for this proportion is 50.
156.25 times 16 =2,500
2,500 divided by 50=50
X=50
