Question 395697: I need to find "x".
80 degrees / 360 degrees = 1000 km /x
How do I isolate "x"?
80 * 80/360 to get rid of 80 to isolate 360 also
80 * 1000/x to get 80000
now I have 360=80000/x
isolate "x"
80000*360=28800000
80000*80000/x = x
28800000=X
Is this right?

Hi

80+degrees+%2F+360+degrees+=+1000+km+%2Fx+ |cross multiplying to solve for x

80°x = 360°*1000km

  x = 360°*1000km/80°

  x = 4500km

80 degrees / 360 degrees = 1000 km /x
80%2F360 = 1000%2Fx
reduce the fraction and you have
2%2F9 + 1000%2Fx
Cross multiply
2x = 9 * 1000
2x = 9000
x = 4500
