Answer:

Sorry. I don't know the answer. I was trying to figure this one out too. Now I'm totally confused! So, if you have fractions and decimals, and you're trying to find what "x" is, you're going to convert your fraction into a decimal? You aren't cross multiplying? I crossed and came out with .9. Help please?

Convert 3/8 to its decimal equivalent: 0.375.

Then

x
------ = 0.375
2.4

Mult. both sides by 2.4: x = 8.99999, which should be rounded off to 9.0.
