Question

1. a bush is sighted on the other side of a canyon. find the width of the canyon.

Explanation:

Step1: Cross - multiply the proportion

Given the proportion $\frac{10}{25}=\frac{x}{100}$, cross - multiplying gives $10\times100 = 25x$.

Step2: Solve for $x$

We have $1000 = 25x$. Divide both sides by 25: $x=\frac{1000}{25}$.

Step3: Calculate the value of $x$

$x = 40$.

Answer:

40
