Question 246837
I think your formula is:


(3/4) = (5/8) * x


If so, then divide both sides of that equation by (5/8) to get:


(3/4) / (5/8) = x


(3/4) / (5/8) is the same as (3/4) * (8/5) is the same as (3*8)/(4*5).


(3*8)/(4*5) reduces to (3*2)/5 which equals 6/5


(6/5) should be equal to x which would be your answer.


substitute in the original equation to see if the equation is true.


(3/4) = (5/8) * x becomes:


(3/4) = (5/8) * (6/5)


simplify that to get:


(3/4) = (5*6)/(8*5) = (30/40) = (3/4)


since the equation is true, your value of x = (6/5) must be good.
