Rewrite the equation as
x
/32
=
5/
8
Multiply both sides of the equation by 32
32 ⋅ x /32 = 32 ⋅ 5/8
Simplify both sides of the equation.
Cancel the common factor of
32
Cancel the common factor.
32· x/32 · 5/8
Rewrite the expression.
x = 32 ⋅ 5/8
Simplify
32⋅5/8
Cancel the common factor of
8
Factor 8 out of 32
x = 8 ( 4 ) ⋅ 5/8
Cancel the common factor.
Rewrite the expression.
x = 4 ⋅ 5
Multiply 4 by 5
