Question

Solve for x.

Please help quick!

Answer 1

`(5)/(2) = (x)/( (1)/(7) )`

Cross Multiply:

`2x = 5 * (1)/(7)`

Evaluate right side:

`2x = (5)/(7)`

Divide by 2 on both sides:

`x = (5)/(7) / 2`

Change the divide fractions to multiplication fraction:

`x = (5)/(7) * (1)/(2)`

Combine into single fraction:

`x = (5)/(14)`
