1. what is 6/5 (division sign) __ = 6 ?
A. 1/5
B. 30
C. 1/30
D. 5
2. solve the equation. Check the soulution.
5/7x = 140
A. 28
B. 196
C. 20
D. 100
(6/5) / x = 6
(6/5) / 6 = x
1/5 = x
B. 196
what about the 1st one?
and thanks
tysm!
To answer the first question and solve for the missing number:
Given: 6/5 ÷ __ = 6
We need to find the missing number that, when divided by 5 and then divided into 6, will give us 6 as the result.
To solve this, we can use some algebraic manipulation.
Step 1: Write the equation with the missing number as x: 6 ÷ 5 ÷ x = 6
Step 2: Simplify the left side of the equation: 6/5/x = 6
Step 3: Multiply both sides of the equation by 5x to eliminate the denominator: 6 = 6 * 5x
Step 4: Simplify the right side of the equation: 6 = 30x
Step 5: Divide both sides of the equation by 30 to solve for x: x = 6/30 = 1/5
Therefore, the missing number is 1/5.
Answer to the first question: A. 1/5
To solve the second question:
Given: 5/7x = 140
We need to solve for x.
To solve this equation, we can use a similar algebraic approach.
Step 1: Write the equation: 5/7x = 140
Step 2: Multiply both sides of the equation by 7x to eliminate the fraction: 5 = 140 * 7x
Step 3: Simplify the right side of the equation: 5 = 980x
Step 4: Divide both sides of the equation by 980 to solve for x: x = 5/980
Answer to the second question: C. 5/980
To check the solution, substitute the value of x back into the original equation and verify that both sides are equal.
