Question

eight times the reciprocal
of a number equals 4 times
the reciprocal of 10.

Answer 1

Answer:

8(1/x) = 4(1/10)

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say the number is x

eight times the reciprocal of a number equals 4 times the reciprocal of 10

  8       *                       1//x                            =        4    *         1/10

8/x = 4/10 ,  cross multiply

4x =8*10, divide both sides by 4

x= 80/4

x= 20
