Question

Solve for x. Please help quick!

Answer 1

$\dfrac{5}{2} = \dfrac{x}{ \frac{1}{7} }$

Cross Multiply:
$2x = 5 \times \dfrac{1}{7}$

Evaluate right side:
$2x = \dfrac{5}{7}$

Divide by 2 on both sides:
$x = \dfrac{5}{7} \div 2$

Change the divide fractions to multiplication fraction:
$x = \dfrac{5}{7} \times \dfrac{1}{2}$

Combine into single fraction:
$x = \dfrac{5}{14}$
