Question

Solve each equation. Check your solution.
5/6 x = 5/14
What does x equal?

Answer 1

Multiply by the reciprocal of 5/6 on each side
So multiply each side by 6/5 to get x alone
x=5/14*6/5=6/14= 3/7
Check your answer:
5/6*3/7= 15/42
= 5/14 (divide by 3 in the top and bottom)
Hope this helps.
