I have to find the value of X but I don't where to start I will show the problem below.
X 2
- = -
5 400 I have no clue where to start please help! :(
x/5 = 2/400
First, reduce 2/400 to 1/200
x/5 = 1/200
Now multiply both sides by 200 to get
40x = 1
x = 1/40
To find the value of X in the given equation:
X / 5 = 2 / 400
First, we want to simplify the equation by getting rid of fractions. To do this, we can cross multiply. Cross multiplying means multiplying the numerator of the first fraction (X) with the denominator of the second fraction (400), and multiplying the numerator of the second fraction (2) with the denominator of the first fraction (5).
After cross multiplying, the equation becomes:
X * 400 = 5 * 2
Now we can solve for X by simplifying both sides of the equation:
400X = 10
To isolate X, divide both sides of the equation by 400:
X = 10 / 400
Simplifying the right side:
X = 0.025
Therefore, the value of X in the given equation is 0.025.
