How do I solve 1/8x=5

Mathematics

Aneli [31]3 years ago

1/8x = 5

1/8x = 5/1

Take reciprocal of both sides

8x/1 = 1/5

8x = 1/5              Divide both sides by 8

x = 1/5 ÷ 8

x = 1/5 * 1/8

x = 1/40

You multiply both sides by the reciprocal (flip fraction) 
1/8--->8/1=8
So now multiply both sides by 8
1/8*8=0 (cancels out) 
x=5*8
x=40

Isaiah and Wanda both went bowling last weekend, but not together. Isaiah went during open bowling time, paying $16 for shoe ren
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

1 hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours bowled by Isaiah and Wanda be X

Isaiah spent 16 dollars on shoe rental and 2X on bowling

Wanda spent 13 dollars on shoe rental and 5X on bowling

Since they spent the same amount, set up an equation

16+2X=13+5X

subtract 2X on either side, then subtract 13 from either side we get

3X=3

divide both sides by 3

X=1

Tim and Al are bricklayers. Tim can construct an outdoor grill in 5 days. If Al helps Tim, they can build it in only 3 days. How
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

It would take Al 7.5 days to build the grill alone.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Tim and Al are bricklayers, and Tim can construct an outdoor grill in 5 days, and if Al helps Tim, they can build it in only 3 days, to determine how long would it take Al to build the grill alone should be done the following calculation:

1/5 + X = 1/3

0.20 + X = 0.333

X = 0.333 - 0.20

X = 0.1333333

X = 1 / 7.5

Therefore it would take Al 7.5 days to build the grill alone.
