a/b = c/d.
0.75/x = 5/8.
(0.75 * 8)/5 =x,
6/5= x.
1.2 =x.
0.75/x = 5/8.
(0.75 * 8)/5 =x,
6/5= x.
1.2 =x.

0.75/x = 5/8
0.75*8 = 5x
6 = 5x
6/5 = x
X = 1.2 ans.
0.75*8 = 5x
6 = 5x
6/5 = x
X = 1.2 ans.

5x = 0.75*8,
5x = 6.00,
x = 6.00/5,
x = 1.2.
5x = 6.00,
x = 6.00/5,
x = 1.2.

X * 5=0.75*8.
X = 0.75*8/5.
X = 6/5.
X * 5=0.75*8.
X = 0.75*8/5.
X = 6/5.
