UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To solve for the missing number $$ x $$ in the proportion:

$$
20000 : x = 1000 : 1
$$

We can set up the equation as a ratio:

$$
\frac{20000}{x} = \frac{1000}{1}
$$

**Step 1: Cross-Multiply**

$$
20000 \times 1 = 1000 \times x
$$

$$
20000 = 1000x
$$

**Step 2: Solve for $$ x $$**

$$
x = \frac{20000}{1000} = 20
$$

**Answer:** $$ x = 20 $$
$$ x = 20 $$
