Answer 2

Answer:

The value of x will be 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to the question asked,

We have to find the value of x,

As per data given in the question,

The given ratio:

$15:x=25:40$

In the form of a fraction, it is written as:

$=> \frac{15}{x} =\frac{25}{40}$

Now, by using the method of cross multiplication:

=> 25 $\times$ $x$ = 15 $\times$ 40

Multiply the numbers,

=> 25$x$ = 600

Divide both sides by 25,

=> $x = 24$

Hence, the required solution is 24.
