Question

3/8=x/32 Then What Is X

Answer 1

Hi there!

Steps to solving $\frac{3}{8} = \frac{x}{32}$ are below.

1) Cross multiply. I personally love cross-multiplication.

$(3) * (32) = x * (8) 96 = 8x$

2) FLIP the equation.

$8x = 96$

3) Divide both sides by 8.

$\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{96}{8}$

$x = 12$

As you can see, $x = 12$.

If you're in doubt of this answer simply replace the $x$ in the equation with $12$. You should get the same answer as shown in the equation.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

X is equal to 12

3/8 x 32 = x
96/8 = x
12 = x
