Answer 2

Answer:

=> $x = 17.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ratio:-

$8 : x :: 16 : 35$

To find:- The value of $x$,

The given ratio is written as:

=> $\frac{8}{x}=\frac{16}{35}$

By using cross multiplication, we get

=> $16\times x = 8\times 35$

Simplifying it further, we get

=> $16x = 8\times 35$

Multiply the numbers,

=> $16x=280$

Divide both sides by $16$, we get

=> $x=\frac{280}{16}$

=> $x=\frac{35}{2}$

=> $x = 17.5$

Hence, the value of x is $17.5$.
