Answer:


(4)/(3)

Explanation:


(x)/(3) =
(1)/(4)

this is a proportion and can be solved by cross-multiplying

we can multiply 4 and x to get 4x

we can multiply 3 and 1 to get 3

so we have the equation 4x = 3

to isolate the x we must divide each side by 4 and we have x =
(4)/(3)

Answer:

3/4

Explanation:

You would multiply both sides by 3 to isolate x.

1/4 x 3 = 3/4
