Question

Solve each equation mentally for x.

5/2 • x = 1

Your answer must be in the form of a fraction.

Answer 1

You need to get x by itself to solve

So to get rid of 5/2, you need to multiply both sides by the reciprocal or 2/5...

5/2*2/5 = 1 which we don't write and 1*2/5 = 2/5

So now you'd have x =2/5

Answer 2

x = 2/5

5/2x2/5=1
good luck
