Question 433581
solve the following: 1 3/4 / 3 3/8 = 1/3 / x
Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions
{{{(7/4)/(27/8)}}} = {{{(1/3)/x}}}
Cross multiply
{{{7/4}}}x = {{{(27/8)*(1/3)}}}
{{{7/4}}}x = {{{27/24}}}
Multiply both sides by 24
6(7x) = 27
42x = 27
x = {{{27/42}}}
reduces to
x = {{{9/14}}}
