Question

16/x 45/3 find the value of x round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

x = 16/15, or (to the nearest tenth) x = 1.1

Explanation:

Note: there must be an " = " sign between the two fractions:

16 45

------- = -------

x 3

Also note that 45/3 reduces to 15: 16/x = 15

Multiplying both sides by x yields 16 = 15x, so that x must be x = 16/15 = 1.1

Answer 2

x would be equal to 1.1

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the value of x

I assume that the equation looks like this: 16/x = 45/3

Therefore, using the cross multiply method we can do (16*3) = (x*45)

This will give us 48 = 45x

Then we divide both sides by 45 so we can isolate x by itself

45x/45 = 48/45

x = 1.0667

Then we round to the nearest tenth

x = 1.0667

x = 1.1

Answer: x would be equal to 1.1
