5/16=s/32

Step-by-step explanation:

What we know:

- a school team has 80 swimmers

The ratio of 7th grade swimmers to every swimmer in their school (counting all the grades) is 5:16. Write a proportion of this for a value of s.

a ratio can also be expressed in a fraction by simply putting it from x:y to x/y

so, the ratio 5:16 can also be expressed as 5/16.

note: let sgs represent seventh grade swimmers.

also, let x represent the value of the equivalent amount of swimmers (in the denominator that serves as a value for the proportion of 5/16.

we need to find:

5 sgs/16 swimmers = s amount of sgs/x

5/16=s/x

equivalent fractions could literally be anything, just multiply that ratio by a value equal to one; ex 4/4, or 16/16, or 2/2.

the simplest proportion is to multiply 5/16 by 2/2.

5/16*(2/2)=s/x

10/32=s/x

so s=10 and x=32 but we only need to know x cuz your problem doesn't have a box to answer the s=10.

so... 5/16=s/32.
