Question

Solve the proportion. 3/5 = x/10 x= [?]

Answer 1

6 is the only possible answer

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the equation as $\frac{x}{10} =\frac{3}{5}$.

$\frac{x}{10}= \frac{3}{5}$

Multiply both sides of the equation by 10.

$10\times\frac{x}{10} =10*\frac{3}{5}$

Simplify both sides of the equation.

Cancel the common factor of 10.

Rewrite the expression.

$x=10*\frac{3}{5}$

Simplify $10*\frac{3}{5}$

Cancel the common factor of 5.

Factor 5 out of 10.

$x=5(2)*\frac{3}{5}$

Cancel the common factor.

Rewrite the expression.

$x=2*3$

Multiply 2 * 3.

$x=6$
