question 1 x/32=7/8
and
question 2 y/12=5/0.6
please help
Sure, I can help you with both questions. Let's start with question 1:
To solve the equation x/32 = 7/8, we can cross multiply. Cross multiplying means multiplying the numerator of the first fraction with the denominator of the second fraction, and vice versa.
So, in this case, we have (x * 8) = (7 * 32).
Now we can simplify:
8x = 224
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 8:
8x/8 = 224/8
Simplifying further:
x = 28
Therefore, the solution to the equation x/32 = 7/8 is x = 28.
Now, let's move on to question 2:
The equation is y/12 = 5/0.6.
However, in this case, we notice that the denominator of the second fraction is zero (0.6). Division by zero is undefined, so this equation does not have a solution.
Therefore, there is no value of y that satisfies the equation y/12 = 5/0.6.
