Step 1. Given

The given proportion is $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{50}$ .

Step 2. To determine

We have to solve the proportion $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{50}$ .

Step 3. Calculation

Solve the given equation.

$\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{2} = \frac{x}{50} \\ \frac{1}{2} \cdot 50 = \frac{x}{50} \cdot 50 [multiply each side by 50] \\ \frac{50}{2} = x [simplify] \\ x = 25 [divide] \end{matrix}$

So, the solution is $x = 25$ .
