Question

Find x such that -3/8 and x/-24are equivalent fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

x/-24=-x/24

-3/8 & -x/24

We notice that the denominator of the second fraction is thrice that of the first fraction.

So, -x should be the thrice of the numerator of the first fraction i.e.

-x=-3*3=-9

The second fraction -9/24 is equivalent to the first fraction.

Answer-

-x=-9

or

x=9
