Question

If x/3 = 5/6 , then x =

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

$\cfrac{x}{3} = \cfrac{5}{6}$

• x = ?

Solution:

Multiplying using criss-cross method;

• $x \times 6 = 5 \times 3$
• $6x = 15$

Divide both sides by 6;

• $\cfrac{6x}6 = \cfrac{ \cancel{15} {}^{5} }{ \cancel6 {}^{2} }$
• $x = \cfrac{5}{2}$

Done!

Hence x = 5/2.

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 3*(5/6)
