Question

what number could go in the place of x to make this expression true?
\\(\frac{2}{10} = \frac{x}{100}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Cross-multiply to solve for $x$

$$2 \times 100 = 10 \times x$$

Step2: Simplify left side

$$200 = 10x$$

Step3: Isolate $x$ by dividing by 10

$$x = \frac{200}{10}$$

Answer:

$20$
