Question

If 'x' divided by 33 equals 'y' divided by 22, then 'x' cubed equals _______.

a) 22
b) 33
c) 11
d) 44

Answer 1

If 'x' divided by 33 equals 'y' divided by 22, then 'x' cubed is equal to 1331 (option c).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation 'x' divided by 33 equals 'y' divided by 22, we can cross multiply to get 'x' times 22 equals 'y' times 33. This can also be written as 22x = 33y. Now, to find 'x' cubed, we can cube both sides of the equation: (22x)^3 = (33y)^3. Simplifying this, we get x^3 = 11^3. Therefore, 'x' cubed equals 1331 (option c).
