Question

can someone please solve 2/8 = n/20

Answer 1

Answer:

$n=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression $\frac{2}{8} = \frac{n}{20}$ and we must solve for variable n.

To solve the equation multiply by 20 on both sides of the equality and you will get the following

$20*\frac{2}{8} = 20*\frac{n}{20}$

$\frac{20*2}{8} = \frac{20n}{20}$

$\frac{40}{8} = n$

$n= \frac{40}{8}$

Finally we have that:

$n=5$

Answer 2

Answer:

n=5

Step-by-step explanation:

2/8 = n/20

Using cross products

2 * 20 = 8*n

40 = 8n

Divide each side by 8

40/8 = 8n/8

5 =n
