Question

solve 5/8 = x/9. round to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

5/8 = x/9
cross multiply
8x = 5 * 9
8x = 45
x = 45/8 
x = 5.625....rounds to 5.6

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 5 .6 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : $\frac{5}{8} = \frac{x}{9}$.

To find : Solve round to the nearest tenth.

Solution : We have given  $\frac{5}{8} = \frac{x}{9}$.

On cross multiplication

5 * 9 = x * 8

45 = 8x

On dividing both sides by 8 and switching the sides

x = $\frac{45}{8}$.

x = 5 . 62

Nearest tenth  is 5 . 6

Therefore, x = 5 .6 .
