2.5

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5

Explanation:

(I'm assuming you're doing this the same way I learned it, if not I'm sorry if it doesn't make sense)

`(2)/(x)`=
`(12)/(15)`

Cross multiply

12x=30

Divide

x=2.5

This is just one way to do the problem. An easier way is to simplify the fractions.

`(2)/(x)`=
`(4)/(5)`

You can either cross multiply or figure out that 2 is half of four and simply divide 5 by 2 which will also result in 2.5
