Question

What is a solution for x/3 = 1/4 ?

Answer 1

`(4)/(3)`

Explanation:

`(x)/(3)` =
`(1)/(4)`

this is a proportion and can be solved by cross-multiplying

we can multiply 4 and x to get 4x

we can multiply 3 and 1 to get 3

so we have the equation 4x = 3

to isolate the x we must divide each side by 4 and we have x =
`(4)/(3)`

Answer 2

3/4

Explanation:

You would multiply both sides by 3 to isolate x.

1/4 x 3 = 3/4

x = 3/4
