Why are the solutions to the proportions StartFraction 50 over x EndFraction = StartFraction 10 over 20 EndFraction and StartFraction 10 over 50 EndFraction = StartFraction 20 over x EndFraction the same?

x=100

Step-by-step explanation:

50/x=10/20 and 10/50=20/x

50/x=10/20

Cross multiplication

50*20=x*10

1000=10x

x=1000/10

x=100

Check:

50/100=

Divide by 5

10/20

10/50=20/x

Cross multiplication

10*x=50*20

10x=1000

x=1000/10

x=100

They are the same because the fraction that has the unknown both have the same ratio
