Question 1158516: Hello! I have to write a story problem and find x for this equation: 1/4x=3/2. I figured out that x=6, but I can't think of a story problem that matches the equation. Thank you for your time! Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! During summer in Chicago Mary and Lucy walk back home from school.
Lucy stays 1.5 miles away from school and this distance is 1/4 the distance Mary
has to walk to her house.
How far is Mary's house from school?
1/4 *x =3/2
x=6 miles
