Question

Solve for x. 1/2=x/16
A x= 8
B x=2
C x=1
D x=32

Answer 1

You can cross multiply

$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{16}$

Multiply numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction (1 * 16) and the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the first fraction (2 * x). This gives us

16 = 2x

Divide by 2

8 = x

Answer 2

8 is the write answer
because we have to find x 
first we have to see our denominater  
how do we get 16
we get 16 by multiplying 8 with 2 
so we have to find numerater 
we will find it with the same way 
and we will multiply 1 with 8
