Verified Answer :

5/8 = x/9
cross multiply
8x = 5 * 9
8x = 45
x = 45/8 
x = 5.625....rounds to 5.6

Answer:

x = 5 .6 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given  : \(\frac{5}{8} = \frac{x}{9}\).

To find : Solve round to the nearest tenth.

Solution : We have given  \(\frac{5}{8} = \frac{x}{9}\).

On cross multiplication

5 9 = x 8

45 = 8x

On dividing both sides by 8 and switching the sides

x = \(\frac{45}{8}\).

x = 5 . 62

Nearest tenth  is 5 . 6

Therefore, x = 5 .6 .
