Question

The product of 3 and a number x is 2/3 .


What is the value of x?



x=73


x=29


x=2


x=213

Answer 1

Rewritten 3x = 2/3

then x = (2/3)/3
therefore x = 0.22

So I don’t think any of them is right

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of the equation for x is 2/9.  The correct option is B) 2/9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided statement.

The product of 3 and a number x is 2/3

The above information can be written as:

$3 \times x = \frac{2}{3}$

$3x = \frac{2}{3}$

Divide both the sides by 3.

$\frac{3x}{3} =\frac{2}{3}\times \frac{1}{3}$

$x=\frac{2}{9}$

Hence, the value of the equation for x is 2/9.  

The correct option is B) 2/9.
