Question

x over 6 space equals space 10 over 12 ; x

Answer 1

Let's break this problem down in a few steps

• x over 6 ⇒ x divided by 6 ⇒ $\frac{x}{6}$
• 10 over 12 ⇒ 10 divided by 12 = $\frac{10}{12}=\frac{2*5}{2*6} =\frac{5}{6}$

Since these two fractions are equal to each other, let's solve for x

  $\frac{x}{6}=\frac{5}{6} \\6x=30\\x = 5$

Thus x = 5

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

$x = 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Convert to an expression

x over 6 equals 10 over 12

$\frac{x}{6}=\frac{10}{12}$

Step 2:  Cross multiply

$(x * 12) = (6 * 10)$

$12x = 60$

Step 3:  Divide both sides by 12

$\frac{12x}{12} = \frac{60}{12}$

$x = 5$

Answer:  $x = 5$
