Alan solved the proportion as shown. What is Alan's error? He got the wrong product when he multiplied 25 by 200. He got the wrong quotient when he divided 5,000 by 8. He mixed up the positions of 8 and 25 in the equation (8) (x) = (25) (200). He mixed up the positions of 8 and 200 in the equation (8) (x) = (25) (200).

The correct multiplication would have been 8 by 200 to have 1600

The correct quotient would have been 200 by 200

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplication scenario

He got the wrong product when he multiplied 25 by 200.

He mixed up the position of 8 and 25 in the equation

(8) (x)= (25) (200)

If he got the wrong product when he multiplied 25 by 200 and he mixed the position of 8 and 25 in the equation (8) (x) = (25) (200)

Then, the correct equation would be

(25) (x)= (8) (200)

25x=1600

X=1600/25

X=64

Division scenario

He mixed up the positions of 8 and 200 in the equation (8) (x) = (25) (200).

He got the wrong quotient when he divided 5,000 by 8.

If he mixed up the position of 8 and 200 in the equation (8) (x)=(25) (200)

Then, the correct position of 8 and 200 will be

(200) (x)=(25) (8)

200x=200

X=200/200

X=1
