Find the missing term in the proportion: \(\frac{0.3}{1.5} = \frac{5}{x}\)

Set up the proportion

The given proportion is \(\frac{0.3}{1.5} = \frac{5}{x}\).

Cross-multiply to solve for \(x\)

Cross-multiplying gives \(0.3 \cdot x = 1.5 \cdot 5\).

Simplify the equation

Calculate \(1.5 \cdot 5 = 7.5\), so the equation becomes \(0.3x = 7.5\).

Solve for \(x\)

Divide both sides by \(0.3\): \(x = \frac{7.5}{0.3} = 25\).

\(\boxed{x = 25}\)

\(\boxed{x = 25}\)
