What is "x" in 4/5 times x equals 2/5

1 answer:

The equation looks like this right now: 4/5x=2/5. In order to solve for x, you need to divide both sides by 4/5. When dividing fractions, you need to remember the rule KCF (keep, change, flip) So, you will keep the first fraction, change the division sign to a multiplication sign, and flip the last fraction. Now you have 2/5*5/4. When you do that, you get 10/20. Simplify it, and you end up with 1/2, and that is your answer. I hope that helped! :)

Find the reciprocal of 2.5, please explain what it is too.

Alexus [3.1K]

A reciprocal is the inverse of a number. if you are given a whole number such as 2 or 3 or 4 or 5... etc. then you flip the number by putting a 1 as the numerator. so the reciprocal of 2 is 1/2 and for 3 it is 1/3 and 4 is 1/4... and so on...

first put your decimal in fraction form
2.5 = 2 and 5/10
= 2 and 1/2
= 5/2 ---> 2/5 (0.4) is the reciprocal of 2.5
