Answer:
Hey there!
3 x 5/4 = 3 x 5 ÷ 4 = 5 x 3 ÷ 4
5 x 4/3 = 5 x 4 ÷ 3 = 4 x 5 ÷ 3
4 x 3/5 = 4 x 3 ÷ 5 = 4 x 3 ÷ 5
Hope this helps :)
Rainfall in July = 2.79 inches.
July has 31 days.
2.79 : 31 = x : 1 Set up the proportion
2.79 / 31 = x/1 Cross multiply and switch.
2.79*1 / 31 = x Do the division
0.09 inches = x Answer
Use the arithmetic operations to get the variable x on one side of the equation and everything else on the opposite side.
If something is being is being done to a variable, we undo that operation by using the inverse of that operation.
For example, if 10 is being added to x, we use the inverse of addition or subtraction.
18 - 7x = -20.5
We variable x is being multiplied by 7 and is subtracting 18. We need to undo all those operations.
18 - 7x = -20.5
-7x = -38.5
Now the variable is only being multiplied by -7. Reverse the operation.
-7x = -38.5
x = 5.5
So, x is equal to 5.5.
