1400= 2/5x
X= 7000
I took 1400 times 5
What about the 2?
Besides, the problem tells you that 1,400 is 2/5 of an unknown number. But 7,000 is half of 1,400.
1400 / (2/5) = 1400 * (5/2) = ?
Is the answer x= 3500
Yes.
Thanks a lot
You're welcome.
To solve the equation 1400 = (2/5)x, you need to isolate the variable x.
First, multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to undo the fraction:
1400 * 5 = (2/5)x * 5
This simplifies to:
7000 = 2x
To isolate x, divide both sides of the equation by 2:
7000 / 2 = 2x / 2
This simplifies to:
3500 = x
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 3500, not 7000.
