x/5 = y/8
x = 5y/8
when y = 2, x = 5(2)/8 = 10/8 = 1.25

This is a college question?
5/8 = x/2 solve for x.
multiply both sides by 2:
10/8 = x, therefore 1.25 = x

x/5 = y/8
-> apply y=2, x/5 =2/8
-> x=2/8*5 = 1.25

A number greater than 1 but smaller than 2.

the value of x is -1 because x is three numbers less than y

the answer is 1.25
cross multiple
5/8=x/2
5x2=10
10/8=1.25

well, if your rule is y*4, then x is 1.25
if your rule is y^3, then x is the cube root of 5
if your rule is y*10 - 12, then x is 1.7
if your rule is y+6, then x is -1
So you could have any answer that you can support with a rule.
