Question

Solve the proportion using the Multiplication Property of Equality 3\4=x/5

Answer 1

we have

3\4=x/5​

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{x}{5}$

Applying the Multiplication Property of Equality

Multiply both sides by 5

so

$\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{4}\cdot5=\frac{x}{5}\cdot5 \\ \\ \frac{15}{4}=x \\ \text{rewrite} \\ x=\frac{15}{4} \end{gathered}$

therefore

the answer is x=15/4
