Question

How do you divide x by 6/18, and equate to 12/18.

Answer 1

The Solution.

From the given question, we have

`(x)/(((6)/(18)))=(12)/(18)`

The above equation is equivalent to

`x*((18)/(6))=(12)/(18)`
`(18x)/(6)=(12)/(18)`
`3x=(2)/(3)`

Cross multiplying, we get

`3x*3=2`
`9x=2`

Dividing both sides by 9, we get

`\begin{gathered} (9x)/(9)=(2)/(9) \\ \\ x=(2)/(9) \end{gathered}`

So, the value of x is 2/9.
