x/3 = 8/9
Cross multiply and solve for x.
None of those answers is right.
Not any help for me Sinc right come from connections academy, and needs help one 3 questions on the review I’m working on
My Phoen was super laggy so I have some awful grammar in the last paragraph, sorry about that.
To solve the proportion x/3 = 8/9, we can set up a cross-multiplication equation.
Cross-multiplying means multiplying the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction and vice versa.
So, we have:
x/3 = 8/9
Now, we cross-multiply:
9x = 3 * 8
9x = 24
To solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 9:
9x/9 = 24/9
x = 24/9
Simplifying the fraction:
x = 8/3
Therefore, the answer is not one of the given options.
