Question

Replace the x with a number so that 5/12 = x/48.

Answer 1

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

5 = x

12 48 12 x 4 = 48

5 x 4 = 20 x = 20

Multiply both sides by 4 because whatever you do to the bottom half, you do to the top

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer: 20

Explanation: When we have two fractions alike we can cross multiply to find the value of x. So, that means 12x=48*5

Simplify to get: 12x=240

x=20
