solve 5/8 = x/9. round to the nearest tenth
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 .
