To solve this proportion, first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
7 1/2 = 15/24 1/2 = 9/2
Now the proportion becomes:
15/2 : 9/2 = x : 3/25
Cross multiply to solve for x:
(15/2) (3/25) = (9/2) x(45/50) = 9/2 * x
Simplify:
9/10 = 9/2 * x9/10 = 9x/2
Now, isolate x by multiplying both sides by 2/9:
(2/9) (9/10) = (2/9) (9x/2)2/10 = x1/5 = x
Therefore, x = 1/5.
