solve the following: 1 3/4 / 3 3/8 = 1/3 / x
\n" ); document.write( "Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions
\n" ); document.write( "\"%287%2F4%29%2F%2827%2F8%29\" = \"%281%2F3%29%2Fx\"
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply
\n" ); document.write( "\"7%2F4\"x = \"%2827%2F8%29%2A%281%2F3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7%2F4\"x = \"27%2F24\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 24
\n" ); document.write( "6(7x) = 27
\n" ); document.write( "42x = 27
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"27%2F42\"
\n" ); document.write( "reduces to
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"9%2F14\"
