Question

12/x = 1.8/6 simplify

Answer 1

i don't know how to explain this but all i can tell you is x = 40

Explanation:

12/40 = 0.3 and 1.8/6 = 0.3 so they both have the same answer

Answer 2

x= 40

Explanation:

This is a proportion, so you have to cross multiply- meaning the multiplication of the diagonals are equal. So, you need to cross multiply first.

12/x=1.8/6

12(6)= 1.8(x)

72=1.8x

Now, this becomes a simple algebra equation.

72=1.8x

40=x

Thus, x is 40.
