The value of x from the given ratios 2 2/7 :(0.6x)= 4/21 :0.25 will be 5.
What is an equation?
An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
:(0.6x) = 4/21 :0.25
Therefore, solve the mixed fraction, we get
16/7 :(0.6x) = 4/21 :0.25
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
16/7 :(0.6x) = 4/21 :0.25
(16/7) / (0.6x) = (4/21 ) / (0.25 )
Step 2: Divide both sides
(16/7) / (0.6x) = (4/21 ) / (0.25 )
Cross multiply:
(16/7) x (0.25 )= (4/21 ) x (0.6x)
4/7 = 2.4x /21
84 = 16.8x
Divide both sides by 16.8:
x = 5
