Question

Find $x$ in the given proportions: $10:x=80:32$.

Answer 1

Finding the value of $x$

Given that, $10:x=80:32$

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \frac{10}{x}=\frac{80}{32} \\ \Rightarrow 10\times 32=80\times x \\ \Rightarrow \frac{320}{80}=x \\ \Rightarrow x=4 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the value of $x$ is $4$.
