Solve for the missing number. 1. 20: n = 40:26 ​

Sagot :

The value of [tex]n[/tex] is 13.

Given the proportion

[tex]20:n=40:26[/tex]

We can express it in fraction form as

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{20}{n}=\frac{40}{26}[/tex]

Cross multiply

[tex]20 \times 26=40n[/tex]

[tex]\implies 520=40n[/tex]

Divide both sides by 40, we yield [tex]n=13[/tex].
