7/8 = X/16 X=how do I solve it

Sagot :

x= 14

1) Let's solve this equation considering that we're dealing with two ratios.

Then we can cross multiply and simplify them this way:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{7}{8}=\frac{x}{16} \\ 8x=16\cdot7 \\ \frac{8}{8}x=\frac{16\cdot7}{8} \\ x=2\cdot7 \\ x=14 \end{gathered}[/tex]

2) So the answer is x= 14
