Question

Solve for x: 6 over x equals 4 over 8

Answer 1

X = 12

Explanation:

4 over 8 is simply multiplying 2 (4 times 2 = 8). The same procedure can be for 6 as 2 times 6 equals 12. I got it right on the test.

Answer 2

For the given expression, x = 12.

Explanation:

Here, in the given expression:

6 over x equals 4 over 8.

Now, 6 over x =
`(6)/(x)`

and 4 over 8 =
`(4)/(8)`

So, here
`(6)/(x)   =(4)/(8)\\ \implies x = (6 * 8)/(4)  = 12`

⇒ x = 12

Hence, for the given expression, x = 12.
