To solve a proportion, you need to cross-multiply and then solve for the variable.
The given proportion is:
16/50 = x/156.25
To cross-multiply, you multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction, and vice versa. So, cross-multiplying this proportion:
(16)(156.25) = (50)(x)
Now, we can solve for x.
To find the product of 16 and 156.25, you can use a calculator or perform the multiplication manually.
16 * 156.25 = 2500
Now we have:
2500 = 50x
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 50:
2500 / 50 = x
Simplifying the division gives:
50 = x
Therefore, the solution to the proportion is x = 50.
