Answer:
We get the value of m that is 25.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given proportion is:
[tex]\frac{5}{8}=\frac{m}{40}[/tex]
Simplifying the above given proportion by cross multiplying, we get
[tex]m=\frac{5{\times}40}{8}[/tex]
⇒[tex]m=5{\times}5[/tex]
⇒[tex]m=25[/tex]
Thus, on simplifying the given proportion, we get the value of m.
