Question

35\40 = 7\?

a. 5
b. 8
c. 1
d. 4

Answer 1

Hey there!

35/40 = 7/x

Cross Multiply the fraction

35(x) = (7)(40)

→ 35x = 280

DIVIDE 35 to BOTH SIDES

35x/35 = 280/35

CANCEL out: 35/35 because that gives you 1

KEEP: 280/35 because that helps solve for the x-value

→ x = 280/35

x = 8

Therefore, your answer is most likely: 8 (Option B)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
