Answer 1

Answer:

x=4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

5x/9=7/3

15x=63

x=63/15

x=21/5

x=4.2

Answer 2

Answer:

=> The value of x is $\frac{21}{5}$.

Step-by-step explanation:

In context to questions asked,

We have to calculate the value of x,

Given that:-

$5 x : 9 = 7 : 3$

In terms of fraction, the given ratio is written as:

=> $\frac{5x}{9}=\frac{7}{3}$

By using the method of cross-multiplication,

=> $5x$ $\times$ 3 = 9 $\times$ 7

Multiplying the terms on both sides,

=> $15x$ = 63

Now, divide both sides by $15$:

=> $x = \frac{21}{5}$
