Question

The product of 3 and a number x is 2/3 .

What is the value of x?



x=73


x=29


x=2


x=213

Answer 1

Rewritten 3x = 2/3

then x = (2/3)/3
therefore x = 0.22

So I don’t think any of them is right

Answer 2

The value of the equation for x is 2/9. The correct option is B) 2/9.

Explanation:

Consider the provided statement.

The product of 3 and a number x is 2/3

The above information can be written as:

`3 * x = (2)/(3)`

`3x = (2)/(3)`

Divide both the sides by 3.

`(3x)/(3) =(2)/(3)* (1)/(3)`

`x=(2)/(9)`

Hence, the value of the equation for x is 2/9.

The correct option is B) 2/9.
