Answer:
1) 16
2) 6
Step-by-step explanation:
1) The very first thing I did was make sure all the fractions were decimals.
1)
- [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] × [tex]x=6[/tex]
- [tex]\frac{3}{8} = 0.375[/tex]
- [tex]0.375[/tex] × [tex]x=6[/tex]
- Divide both sides of the equation by [tex]0.375[/tex]
- ----------- This will cancel out the [tex]0.375[/tex] on the other side, and leave x.
- Then, we will end up with: [tex]x = 16[/tex]
2)
- [tex]\frac{5}{16}[/tex] × [tex]x = 1\frac{7}{8}[/tex]
- [tex]0.3125[/tex] × [tex]x =1.875[/tex]
- Divide both sides of the equation by [tex]0.3125[/tex]
- ----------- This will cancel out the [tex]0.375[/tex] on the other side, and leave x
- Then, we will end up with: [tex]x=6[/tex]
