Question

Solve for xX/250 = 3/500

Answer 1

x = 3/2 = 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial equation is:

`(x)/(250)=(3)/(500)`

To solve the equation, we need to multiply both sides by 250 as:

`\begin{gathered} (x)/(250)\cdot250=(3)/(500)\cdot250 \\ x=(3\cdot250)/(500) \\ x=(750)/(500) \end{gathered}`

This fraction can be simplified as:

`x=(750)/(500)=(750/250)/(750/250)=(3)/(2)=1.5`

Therefore, the value of x is 3/2 as a fraction or it is 1.5 as a decimal.
