Question

X divided by 8/15 = 45/28
what is x? pleasehelp

Answer 1

x=6/7

Explanation:

It is basically saying x/8/15=45/28

15 can be multiplied by x so it is no longer in the denominator

15x/8=45/28

Cross multiply and isolate x

15x*28=420x

8*45=360

420x/420=360/420

Simplify

36/42 divide by 6 --> 6/7

x=6/7

Answer 2

x = 6/7

Explanation:

x ÷ 8/15 = 45/28

Copy dot flip

x * 15/8 = 45/28

Multiply each side by 8/15

x*15/8 *8/15 = 45/28 * 8/15

x = 45/28 * 8/15

Rewriting

x = 45/15 * 8/28

x = 3/1 * 2/7

x = 6/7
