x . 6 = (3)/(8)


Pass 6 as division



x = ((3)/(8))/(6)


As we know:



((a)/(b))/((c)/(d))=(a.d)/(b.c)


So,



x = (3)/(8.6)


x = (3)/(48)

Simplify by 3


x = (1)/(16)

Hey there!

This is basically a translation into real world equation

So, this question is asking When a number x is multiplied by, the result is
(3)/(8). what is the value of x

First, we will highlight your keywords in this equation


Number: x \\ Multiplied(Multiplication): * \\ 6:6 \\ Result: = (equal)\\ (3)/(8) = (3)/(8)

The equation would look like this:
6*x = (3)/(8)

Let's solve for our answer, shall we!


6*x = (3)/(8) \\ \\ Divide By 6On Each Of Your Sides \\ \\ (6x)/(6) = (3/8)/(6) \\ \\ CancelOut: (6x)/(6) \\ Keep: (3/8)/(6) \\ \\ (3/8)/(6) = (1)/(16) \\ \\ \\ \\ Answer: x = (1)/(16)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
