OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \frac{5}{40}=\frac{n}{72} \]Multiply both sides by \(72\): \[ 72\times \frac{5}{40} = n \]Then you simplify the left part.

OpenStudy (samara8954):

so the answer please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ 72\times \frac{5}{40} = (\color{red}{\cancel 8})(9) \frac{\color{blue}{\cancel 5}}{(\color{red}{\cancel 8})(\color{blue}{\cancel 5})} = 9 \]
