To find the value of x, we can set up a proportion using the given ratio:
2/x = 5/8
To solve for x, we cross multiply:
2 * 8 = 5 * x
16 = 5x
Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
16/5 = x
The value of x is 16/5 or 3.2.
If 2:x=5:8 . find x

2:x=5:8
We'll cross multiply so
2x8 =5x
16 = 5x
Then we'll divide by 5 so that x will stand alone
So 16√5 =3.2
So x=3.2
We'll cross multiply so
2x8 =5x
16 = 5x
Then we'll divide by 5 so that x will stand alone
So 16√5 =3.2
So x=3.2
Apologies for the error in my previous response.
Using cross multiplication:
2 * 8 = 5 * x
16 = 5x
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 5:
16/5 = x
Therefore, x = 16/5 or 3.2.
