Solved some questions based on proportion.
If x:8 = 7:16, Find x.
We are given the proportion:
x:8=7:16x : 8 = 7 : 16x:8=7:16
This means:
x8=716\frac{x}{8} = \frac{7}{16}8x=167
Now cross-multiply:
16x=8×716x = 8 \times 716x=8×7 16x=5616x = 5616x=56
Divide both sides by 16:
x=5616x = \frac{56}{16}x=1656
Simplify the fraction:
x=72=3.5x = \frac{7}{2} = 3.5x=27=3.5
✅ Answer: x=3.5x = 3.5x=3.5
