Question

How do you solve the proportion `8/m=32/52`?

Answer 1

we are given:
`8/m` `=` `32/52`

Shifting, m to the R.H.S (numerator) and shifting 32 to the L.H.S denominator.

now we get fraction:
`8/32` `=` `m/52`

again ,
Shifting 52 to the L.H.S numerator , thereby leaving the unknown m at the R.H.S

now solving,
`8/32` X52 `=` m ,
we get m `=` 13,

therefore the proportion is :
`8/13` `=` `32/52`

note: on dividing each of the values at L.H.S and R.H.S we obtain the same value of 0.61, so L.H.S = R.H.S and it is in proportion
