Setup Scale
Our scale is 20 to 20
Find how many exist in 20
Set the missing measurement as x:
| 20 | |
| 20 |
| = |
| x |
| 20 |
Cross-Multiply:
20 (x) = 20 * 20
Divide each side of the equation by 20 to isolate x:
| 20 (x) | |
| 20 |
| = |
| 20 * 20 |
| 20 |
Cancel the measurement on the right side and simplify:
| x = | 20 * 20 |
| 20 |
| x = | 400 |
| 20 |
x = 20
