Question

Solve the following proportion Start Fraction x over 2 End Fraction equals Start Fraction 8 over 9 End Fraction (1 point) 144 0.44 1.78 36

Answer 1

1/8

Explanation:

Answer 2

1.78

Explanation:

`(x)/(2) = (8)/(9)`

To solve for x we need to cross multiply it

We have = sign inbetween the fractions so we cross multiply it

9*x = 2* 8

9x = 16

Now we divide by 9 on both sides

`x= (16)/(9)`

so x= 1.7777777778

When we round to two decimal places then

x= 1.78
