Answer: 4.3

Explanation:

To solve 6/X = 7/5 first cross multiply the numbers.

This will give you 6 x 5 = X x 7. Now multiply what you can. 6 x 5 = 30 and X x 7 cannot be simplified.

Now your problem will look like 30 = X x 7. The next step is to use the inverse operation (or the opposite) of multiplication to rearrange the problem. In other words, divide each side of the equation by 7. 7/7 cancels out and 30/7 = 4.285...

This leaves you with the solution X = 4.285... However, you are required to round your answer to the nearest tenth.

So your answer is approximately 4.3
