Question

0.25÷3=x÷1 1/2 That fraction is one and a half.

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 0.25÷3=x÷1 1/2, we are to look for the value of x from the given equation. Rewriting the equation we will have;

$\dfrac{0.25}{3} = \dfrac{x}{1\frac{1}{2} }$

On simplification;

$0.25 * \frac{1}{3} = x * \frac{2}{3} \\ \\ \frac{25}{100}*\frac{1}{3} =\frac{2x}{3}\\\\ \frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2x}{3}\\\\ \frac{1}{12} = \frac{2x}{3}\\\\cross \ multiply\\\\2x * 12 = 3\\\\24x = 3\\\\Divide \ both \ sides \ by \ 24\\\\24x/24 = 3/24\\\\x = 1/8$

Hence the value of x in the expression is 1/8
