Question

Solve 11/16=X/20No rounding

Answer 1

`X=13(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Given the equation:

`(11)/(16)=(X)/(20)`

Multiply both sides of the equation by 20.

`\begin{gathered} (11)/(16)*20=(X)/(20)*20 \\ \implies X=(11*20)/(16) \end{gathered}`

The result is obtained below:

`\begin{gathered} X=(11*5*4)/(4*4) \\ \text{ Cancel out one of the 4's.} \\ X=(11*5)/(4) \\ X=(55)/(4) \\ X=13(3)/(4) \end{gathered}`

The solution to the equation, X is 13 3/4.
