Question

What is the solution to the equation


`(1)/(40) * = (1)/(8)`
x = 320

x = 5

x = 48

x = 32​

Answer 1

Given Expression is 1/40* x = 1/8

Step : Define x in the Equation:

Step : Divide the Equation by 8

Step : Do cross multiplication

Step : Arrange it in particular form

____________________________

☞ 1/40x = 1/8

☞ x/40 = 1/8

☞ x = ⅛ × 40

☞ x = 5

.

Therefore, Answer is 5.

Answer 2

x = 5

1/40 of x is the same x divided by 40, so let’s put that into the equation to get x/40 = 1/8.

Now, multiply both sides of the equation by 40 to cancel out the division by 40.

x = 1/8 * 40

x = 40/8

Now, just simplify.

x = 5
