Question

1. What value of x makes a true equivalent fraction statement.
8/40=x/30

Answer 1

Hey there!

=> 8/40 = x/30

=> (40)(x) = (8)(30)

=> 40x = 240

Divide both sides by 40

=> 40x/40 = 240/40

=> x = 240/40

=> x = 6

Therefore, the value of x makes a true equivalent fraction statement is 6

Answer 2

Value of x is:

• x = 6

Explanation:

Given Fraction,

`(8)/(40) = (x)/(30)`

Further we can solve by cross multiplication,

`\sf 40 * x = 8 * 30`

`\sf 40x = 240`

Divide both sides by 40,

`\sf (40x)/(40) = \frac {240}{40}`

`\sf x = 6`

Verifying our answer.

Simply put the value of x in the given fraction ,

`(8)/(40) = (6)/(30)`

We know that,

• 8 × 5 = 40
• 6 × 5 = 30

`\sf (1)/(5)= (1)/(5)`

Hence, x = 6 makes a true equivalent fraction statement.
