Evaluate 2/3 x for x=3/4
Hi, I don't know what they are asking me, can anyone help?
The problem is asking what is 2/3 of 3/4?
(3/4) * (2/3) = ?
so basically, you substitute 3/4 for x
so you would be solving (2/3) * (3/4)
Oh, I didn't understand what they meant. Now I do, thanks Anonymous and Ms. Sue!
You're welcome.
Of course, I can help you understand and solve this problem.
To evaluate 2/3 x for x=3/4, you need to substitute the value of x into the given expression and then simplify it. Let's go step-by-step.
First, replace the variable x with its given value, which is 3/4. So, the expression becomes:
2/3 * (3/4)
Next, multiply the numerators (top numbers) together and also multiply the denominators (bottom numbers) together:
(2 * 3) / (3 * 4)
Simplify the multiplication:
6/12
Since both the numerator and denominator have a common factor of 6, you can simplify further:
1/2
Therefore, the value of 2/3 x when x is equal to 3/4 is 1/2.
