Question

If 40% is equal to the fraction x/30, what is the value of x?

A. 0.4
B. 15
C. 1,200
D. 12

Answer 1

x/30 = 40%

x/30 = 0.4

x = 0.4 * 30

x = 12

Answer 2

The value of x is 12. Option D is answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's how we can find the value of x:

Convert 40% to a fraction:

40% = 40/100 = 2/5

Set up the equation:

x/30 = 2/5

Multiply both sides by 30:

x = (2/5) * 30

Calculate x:

x = 12

Therefore, the value of x is 12. Option D is answer.
