Proportional Problem
Multiplying the means and multiplyint the extremes.
The means = 8.0 (24)
The extremes = s(1.6)
s/24 = 8.0/1.6
s1.6 = 8.0(24.0)
s1.6 = 192
s/1.6/1.6 = 192/1.6
s = 120
The answer is s = 120
Insert the s value into the equation
- - - - - - - - s-
Check
s/24.0 = 8/1.6
120 /24 = 5
5 = 5
- - - - - -s-

I would just work out 8.0/1.6 on the right hand side first. 8.0/1.6 = 5.
Then multiply each side by 24 to leave only 's' on the left hand side. s = 24.0*5.0
therefore,
s = 120

s=120
(s/24.0 = 8.0/1.6
s/24=8/(16/10)
s/24 = 8*10/16
s=(80/16)*24
s=(16*5/16)*24
s=5*24
s=120.)

cross multiply
1.6 x s = 24 x 8.0
divide both sides by 1.6
s =(24 x 8.0)/1.6
solve
s=120
Hope that helps!
