The correct Answer is:
Let's solve each part step by step: ### Part (i): \[ \frac{-1}{5} = \frac{8}{x} \] **Step 1:** Cross multiply the fractions. \[ -1 \cdot x = 5 \cdot 8 \] **Step 2:** Simplify the right side. \[ -x = 40 \] **Step 3:** Multiply both sides by -1 to solve for \(x\). \[ x = -40 \] ### Part (ii): \[ \frac{7}{-3} = \frac{x}{6} \] **Step 1:** Cross multiply the fractions. \[ 7 \cdot 6 = -3 \cdot x \] **Step 2:** Simplify the left side. \[ 42 = -3x \] **Step 3:** Divide both sides by -3 to solve for \(x\). \[ x = \frac{42}{-3} = -14 \] ### Part (iii): \[ \frac{3}{5} = \frac{x}{-25} \] **Step 1:** Cross multiply the fractions. \[ 3 \cdot (-25) = 5 \cdot x \] **Step 2:** Simplify the left side. \[ -75 = 5x \] **Step 3:** Divide both sides by 5 to solve for \(x\). \[ x = \frac{-75}{5} = -15 \] ### Part (iv): \[ \frac{13}{6} = \frac{-65}{x} \] **Step 1:** Cross multiply the fractions. \[ 13 \cdot x = 6 \cdot (-65) \] **Step 2:** Simplify the right side. \[ 13x = -390 \] **Step 3:** Divide both sides by 13 to solve for \(x\). \[ x = \frac{-390}{13} = -30 \] ### Part (v): \[ \frac{16}{x} = -4 \] **Step 1:** Rewrite -4 as a fraction. \[ \frac{16}{x} = \frac{-4}{1} \] **Step 2:** Cross multiply the fractions. \[ 16 \cdot 1 = -4 \cdot x \] **Step 3:** Simplify the left side. \[ 16 = -4x \] **Step 4:** Divide both sides by -4 to solve for \(x\). \[ x = \frac{16}{-4} = -4 \] ### Part (vi): \[ \frac{-48}{x} = 2 \] **Step 1:** Rewrite 2 as a fraction. \[ \frac{-48}{x} = \frac{2}{1} \] **Step 2:** Cross multiply the fractions. \[ -48 \cdot 1 = 2 \cdot x \] **Step 3:** Simplify the left side. \[ -48 = 2x \] **Step 4:** Divide both sides by 2 to solve for \(x\). \[ x = \frac{-48}{2} = -24 \] ### Summary of Solutions: - (i) \(x = -40\) - (ii) \(x = -14\) - (iii) \(x = -15\) - (iv) \(x = -30\) - (v) \(x = -4\) - (vi) \(x = -24\)
