Question

The product of 2 and a number x is 3/4
What is the value of x?
A. x=5/4
B. x=3/8
C. x= 1 1/4
D. x=3/2

Answer 1

Answer:

$2 \times x = \frac{3}{4} \\ \\ 2x = \frac{3}{4}$

divide either sides by 2 :

$x = \frac{3}{4} \div 2 \\ \\ x = \frac{3}{4 \times 2} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{x = \frac{3}{8} }}}$
