Answer:

1st circle: 1.25

Second circle: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the cross product property here to find the value of what's in the circles.

Let's first look at the first two fractions.

[tex]\frac{x}{5} = \frac{1}{4}[/tex]

We can multiply the cross values and divide by the number that is diagonal to the variable.

[tex]5\cdot1 = 5\\5\div4 = 1.25[/tex]

So 1.25 goes in the first circle.

Now let's look at the last two circles and use the same property to find the missing value.

[tex]\frac{1}{4} = \frac{0.5}{x}\\ 4\cdot0.5 = 2\\2\div1 = 2[/tex]

So 2 goes in the second circle.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

x = 5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the variable 'x' instead of 'the circle.'  Then:

 x         1

----- = ------

 5         4

Cross-multiplying, we get

4x = 5, and so x = 5/4
