Answer:

2:5 = 8:20

Step-by-step explanation:

8 divided by 2 muna since same sila sa left side, then yung quotient which is 4, times mo sa 5. so magiging proportion sila since kapag yung 8:20 dinivide mo both sa 4, magiging answer yung 2:5. magulo ako magpaliwanap. sorna.

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem asks us to find an unknown variable in a proportion.

The equal sign signifies that this is a direct proportion. We can equate the product of the means and the product of the extremes.

2:5 = 8:x

2x = 40

Now that we have the equation, all we have to do is to solve for x. We can do this by dividing both sides by 2.

2x = 40

2x / 2 = 40 / 2

x = 20

Hope this helps!
