You asked:

Solve \(20 : 150=s : 30\) for the variable \(s\).

MathBot Answer:

$$\begin{aligned}s &= 4\end{aligned}$$

Express both ratios as fractions. \[\frac{20}{150} = \frac{s}{30}\]

Cross-multiply and solve for the unknown. $$\begin{aligned}\frac{20}{150} &= \frac{s}{30} \\ 600 &= 150 s \\ s &&= 4 \end{aligned}$$
