You entered the following equivalent proportions:
| 2 | |
| 3 |
| = |
| 5 |
| s |
Define the proportion formula:
If 2 proportions are equal:
we can cross multiply to get:
Numerator 1 Denominator 1
=
Numerator 2 Denominator 2 Numerator 1 * Denominator 2 = Denominator 1 * Numerator 2
Solving for Denominator 2 we get:
| Denominator 2 = | Denominator 1 * Numerator 2 |
| Numerator 1 |
Evaluate and simplfy
| s = | 3 * 5 |
| 2 |
| s = | 15 |
| 2 |
Final Answer
s = 7.5
