x/4=10/20
Reduce 10/20 then cross multiply.
x/4=10/20
Cross multiply and solve for x.
20x = 40
x = 40/20
x = 2
To solve the equation x/4 = 10/20, you can begin by cross-multiplying.
Cross-multiplying means multiplying the numerator of the first fraction (x) by the denominator of the second fraction (20), and multiplying the numerator of the second fraction (10) by the denominator of the first fraction (4).
So, we have (x)(20) = (10)(4).
Simplifying this further, we get 20x = 40.
To isolate x, we need to get rid of the coefficient 20. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 20.
(20x)/20 = 40/20
This simplifies to x = 2.
Therefore, the solution to the equation x/4 = 10/20 is x = 2.
