Question

8/7=x/5 what is the value of x round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5.7

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{8}{7} = \frac{x}{5}$

To find x first cross multiply

We have

7x = 8 × 5

7x = 40

Divide both sides by 7

That's

$\frac{7x}{7} = \frac{40}{7}$

$x = \frac{40}{7}$

x = 5.7142

We have the final answer as

x = 5.7 to the nearest tenth

Hope this helps you
