What does X equal? Please help me
x/4 = 12/46
Cross multiply and solve for x.
What do you get?
Okay,
x/4 = 12/46
48/46? = 1 1/24
Right.
x = 1 1/24
Hmm, I seem to be getting all the questions right. It's just that the answer key seems to be different because it is online homework.
Please ask your teacher about this. We find that online answer keys are sometimes wrong.
To find the value of x in the equation:
x/4 = 12/46
You can cross-multiply and solve for x. Here's how:
Step 1: Cross-multiply
Multiply the numerator of the first fraction (x) by the denominator of the second fraction (46), and multiply the denominator of the first fraction (4) by the numerator of the second fraction (12).
x * 46 = 12 * 4
Step 2: Simplify
Multiply the numbers on each side of the equation:
46x = 48
Step 3: Solve for x
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 46:
46x/46 = 48/46
x = 48/46
Step 4: Simplify the solution
The fraction 48/46 can be simplified further by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (in this case, 2):
x = 24/23
So, the value of x in the equation is 24/23.
