Question

by what number should we divide5/12 so that the quotient is35/18

Answer 1

Hello!

$\star\: \bf\small{ANSWER}$ :

$\boxed{\red{\bf{x = \dfrac{3}{14}}}}$

$\star\: \bf\small{EXPLANATION}$ :

Let the required number be $\bf\small{x}$.

Then,

$\dfrac{\dfrac{5}{12}}{\sf x} = \dfrac{35}{18} \\ \\ \implies \dfrac{5}{\sf 12x} = \dfrac{35}{18} \\ \\ \implies \sf 420x = 90 \\ \\ \implies \sf x = \dfrac{90}{420} \implies \boxed{\red{\bf{x = \dfrac{3}{14}}}}$

Cheers!

Answer 2

Let we take x

5/12÷x=35/18
X=18/35×5/12
X=90/420
X=3/14
