Simplify 5/8
<span>31over 5 x 5 over 8 = 31/8
answer </span>3/1= 3.87500
8
You would multiply 4 on both sides
5x=2
then you would divide 5 on both sides
x=2/5
For example:
(4/9) x=8
Now can solve this equation multiplying each side by 9/4.
(9/4)(4/9)x=(9/4)8
x=18
To check:
(4/9)(18)=(4*18)/9=72/9=8
