Answer :
8 over 3 equals 24 over x can be written down as:
8/3 = 24/x
So now:
8/3 = 24/x / * 3 (both sides)
8 = 72/x / * x (both sides)
8x = 72 / ÷ 8 (both sides)
x = 9
8/3 = 24/x
So now:
8/3 = 24/x / * 3 (both sides)
8 = 72/x / * x (both sides)
8x = 72 / ÷ 8 (both sides)
x = 9
8 = 24
3 x
Its a proportion, so you cross multiply the 3 and the 24, then divide by 8.
3 × 24 = 72
72 ÷ 8 = 9
Your final answer is:
x = 9
3 x
Its a proportion, so you cross multiply the 3 and the 24, then divide by 8.
3 × 24 = 72
72 ÷ 8 = 9
Your final answer is:
x = 9
