When you buy 50 gallons of gas for your truck and the tank holds 25 gallons.The proportion set up would be 1/50=25/x,what does x represent?

The proportion is bogus
x = 25*50
which is meaningless.
You need either
gal/gal = tanks/tanks
50/25 = x/1
x = # tanks needed
or gal/tank = gal/tank
50/x = 25/1
x = # tanks needed
x = 25*50
which is meaningless.
