Question

X/6 = 11/12 need to solve the equation for x helppppp

Answer 1

x= 11/2 or 5.5

Explanation:

x/6 = 11/12

LCM = 12

=12 × x/6 = 12 × 11/12

=2(x) = 11 Note. 6 goes into 12 "2" and 12 goes into 12 "1"

=2x = 11

=2x/2 11/2

x = 11/2 or 5.5.

Answer 2

Answer: x=
`5(1)/(2)`

Explanation:

`(x)/(6) = (11)/(12) \\x(12)=11(6)\\12x=66\\(12x)/(12) =(66)/(12) \\x=(11)/(2) \\x=5(1)/(2)`

(you should cross-multiply the numbers)

(if the numerator is greater than the denominator then you

should leave the answer as a mixed fraction)
