You entered the following equivalent proportions:
| 55 | |
| 32 |
| = |
| 5.5 |
| 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 = | 32 * 5.5 |
| 55 |
| s = | 176 |
| 55 |
Final Answer
s = 3.2
