Mathematics

2/3x-40=5/6(x+36)

multiply each side by 6 to get rid of the fraction

6* 2/3x- 6*40=6*5/6(x+36)

4x -240 = 5(x+36)

distribute

4x-240 = 5x +180

subtract 4x from each side

-240 = x +180

subtract 180 from each side

-420 =x

What is the reciprocal of 6/5? <br> A. 1 <br> B. 1 1/5 <br> C. 12/10 <br> D. 5/6
Sergio039 [100]
The reciprocal of 6/5 is D. 5/6

Reciprocal simply means swapping the position of the numbers in the fraction. The numerator becomes the denominator and the denominator becomes the numerator.

We need to get reciprocal of a fraction when division is performed.

For example: 2 ÷ 1/5

2 may be a whole number but in fraction form it is 2/1.

1st fraction = 2/1
2nd fraction = 1/5

In dividing fractions, the 1st step we need to do is to get the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.

1/5 ⇒ 5/1

Then, we multiply the 1st fraction to the reciprocal of the 2nd fraction.
2/1 * 5/1 = 10

So, 2 ÷ 1/5 = 10
