1. We need to get rid of all the denominator in this equation.
- This can be done by multiplying left and right sides by the LCD.
- In the problem: 12/x = 8, the LCD is X.
12/x = 8 is now 12 = x * 8
1a. 8 * x = 8x
Now, your answer is 3/2, but It's improper. Let's convert it into a mixed number.
Subtract 3 by 2.
3 - 2 = 1
3/2 = 1 1/2
Therefore, your answer is 1 1/2. Also, the answer is 1.5.
