Answer 2

x = 10 4/5

Explanation:

We want to find the value of x in the expression below;

2 1/4/x = 1 1/2/3 3/5

The best thing to do here is to turn all the mixed fractions to improper fractions. Thus, we have;

9/2/x = 3/2/18/5

= 9/2x = 3/2 * 5/18

9/2x = 15/36

9 * 36 = 15 * 2x

324 = 30x

x = 324/30 = 10 8/10 = 10 4/5
