Question

5 1/2 / x = 11/20
I need it ASAP!

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

I find it easier to work with decimals, so I'll start by converting to decimal form:

5 1/2 = 5.5

11/20 = 0.55

So the new version of this equation is 5.5/x=0.55

Now I can rearrange and solve for x:

`(5.5)/(x)=0.55\\ 5.5=0.55x\\(5.5)/(0.55)=x\\ 10=x`
