Question

8 is to 64 as 2 is to x. Written as a proportion this would be 8/64=2/x. is this correct? How would I solve for x?

Answer 1

\[x \frac{8 }{64 } = x \frac{ 2 }{ x }\]

the x's on the right cancel out. So everything on the left = 2.
Solve for x.

Answer 2

so x=16?

Answer 3

yes. x=16 is correct
