The solution to the equation x/4 = 3.6 is x = 14.4
The given equation is:
[tex]\frac{x}{4} = 3.6[/tex]
To be able to cross multiply, both the expressions at the left and right hand sides of the equation musty be a fraction
This can be re-written as:
[tex]\frac{x}{4} = \frac{36}{10}[/tex]
Cross multiply
For cross multiplication, the denominator of the left hand expression multiplies the numerator of the right hand expression, while the the numerator of the left hand expression multiplies the denominator of the right hand expression
[tex]10x = 36(4)\\\\10x = 144[/tex]
Divide both sides by 10
[tex]\frac{10x}{10} = \frac{144}{10}\\\\x = 14.4[/tex]
