Question

8/7=x/5 what is the value of x round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

`\boxed{\sf x = 5.7}`

Explanation:

`\sf (8)/(7) = (x)/(5) \\=> 1.142 = (x)/(5)\\ Multiplying \ both \ sides \ by \ 5\\1.142 * 5 = x\\5.7 = x\\OR\\x = 5.7`

Answer 2

x = 5.7

Explanation:

`(8)/(7) = (x)/(5)`

To find x first cross multiply

We have

7x = 8 × 5

7x = 40

Divide both sides by 7

That's

`(7x)/(7) = (40)/(7)`

`x = (40)/(7)`

x = 5.7142

We have the final answer as

x = 5.7 to the nearest tenth
