Yes.

Doing long multiplication and long division on a piece of paper. Okay I cheated and used a calculator on one sum, and then checked the others.

Of course, I'm so superior, I'd use the metric system. :P

It's a pretty simple algebra problem. And really the only kind of algebra I ever do any more. I figure out the answer to this exact problem more times than you can imagine. Change the inches to pixels and think about enlarging/reducing images and you've got the same question.

4/5 = 3.125/x
solve for x
