Answer 1

6

1. 20 / x = 10 / 3

2. Cross multiply 20 time 3 and 10 times x to get 60 = 10x

3. Divide both sides by 10

4. x=6

Answer 2

6

Explanation:

Changing the question into an equation format :

20/x = 10/3

Multiply x on both sides :

20 = 10x/3

Multiply both sides by 3 :

60 = 10x

Divide both sides by 10 :

6 = x

x = 6

The number must be 6, but let's check:

20/6

Simplify fraction by finding common multiple:

2

20/6 ÷ 2/2 = 10/3
