Answer: x=5.6 or 5 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiplication is when you have two fractions (ratios) that are equivalent and you can multiply the numerator of the first one by the denominator of the second one, and the denominator of the first one by the numerator of the first one. The answers to these two are equivalent.
So, 5x/8 = 7/2
10x=56
x=5.6
x= 5 3/5

Answer:
3/14
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to line up the fractions. 5/7 on top, 1/2 on the bottom. We need to find common denominator so, 7 x 2 (denominators) gives us 14. 14 is now the denominator we will use. Solve for numerator: Starting at bottom fraction. 2 goes into 14 7 times, 7 times original numerator (1) 35. Theres your new numerator. Now, the top fraction: 7 goes into 14 2 times. 2 x original numerator (5) = 10. Now subtract both numerators (10 - 7 = 3) Plug in the denominator and your answer is: 3/14
