Question

Solve the proportion of 16/50=x/156.25

Answer 1

Do cross multiplication
50x=16*156.25
50x =2500
X= 50

Answer 2

For this case, we must find the value of "x" of the following expression:

$\frac {16} {50} = \frac {x} {156.25}$

We know that $\frac {16} {50} = 0.32$

So:

$0.32 = \frac {x} {156.25}$

We multiply on both sides by 156.25:

$0.32 * 156.25 = x\\x = 50$

Thus, the value of x is 50.

Answer:

$x = 50$
