Question

What is the solution to the equation 1/40x = 1/8 ?

x = 320
x = 5
x = 48
x = 32

Answer 1

x = 5

Explanation:

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

Answer 2

the answer is x = 5. Hope that helps, God bless!
