Answer 2

$\large\sf\underline{Given\::}$

• $\sf\:16:8=x:5$

‎

‎

$\large\sf\underline{To\:find\::}$

• Value of x = ??

‎

‎

$\large\sf\underline{Solution\::}$

$\sf\:16:8=x:5$

‎ ‎

• Writing in fraction form

‎

‎

$\sf\implies\:\frac{16}{8}=\frac{x}{5}$

‎ ‎

• Cross multiplying

‎

‎

$\sf\implies\:8x=16 \times 5$

$\sf\implies\:8x=80$

‎

‎

• Transposing 8 to the other side

‎

Since ' ${\sf{{\pink{x}}}}$ ' sign remains between 8 and x, when we transpose 8 to other side it changes to ' ${\sf{{\purple{÷}}}}$ ' .

‎

‎

$\sf\implies\:x=\frac{80}{8}$

$\sf\implies\:x=\cancel{\frac{80}{8}}$

$\large{\mathfrak\red{\implies\:x=10}}$
