Question

Solve each proportion. Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary.

4/x=7/6

Answer 1

`(4)/(x)=(7)/(6)\\\\(x)/(4)=(6)/(7)\\\\x=(24)/(7)\\\\x \approx \boxed{3.4}`

Answer 2

The answer is:

x = 3.4

Work/explanation:

To solve a proportion, I will cross multiply:

`\sf{(4)/(x)=(7)/(6)}`

4 times 6 and 7 times x:

`\sf{24=7x}`

Divide each side by 7:

`\sf{3.4=x`

I have rounded the answer to the nearest tenth.

Hence, x = 3.4,
