What is 5/8=25/blank

Answer:

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

\frac{5}{8} = \frac{25}{x}

Cross multiply

(5)(x) = (25)(8)

5x = 200

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 200/5

x = 40

Checking:

\frac{5}{8} =\frac{25}{x}

\frac{5}{8} =\frac{25}{40}

(5)(40) = (25)(8)

200 = 200
