Question

Find x:
i) 8/27 ÷ x = -4/9
ii) x ÷ (-8) = -25/12​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

i) 8/27 ÷ x = -4/9

=> 8/27 × 1/x = -4/9

=> 1/x = -4/9 ÷ 8/27

=> 1/x = -4/9 × 27/8 = -108/72

=> -108x = 72

Hence, x = -108/72 = -3/2

Answer) -3/2

ii) x ÷ (-8) = -25/12

=> x × (-1/8) = -25/12

=> x = -25/12 ÷ (-1/8)

=> x = -25/12 × -8 = -50/3

=> 3x = -50

Hence, x = -50/3

Answer) -50/3
