what is the solution to the proportion? 5/8 = m/40
Your answer is 25. You do 40 times 5 divided by 8 or 8 times 5 is 40 and 5 times 5 is 25. Hope this helps
Answer:
We get the value of m that is 25.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given proportion is:
\(\frac{5}{8}=\frac{m}{40}\)
Simplifying the above given proportion by cross multiplying, we get
\(m=\frac{5{\times}40}{8}\)
⇒\(m=5{\times}5\)
⇒\(m=25\)
Thus, on simplifying the given proportion, we get the value of m.
