Question

If 0.75:x are in the ratio 5:8 then find the x​

Answer 1

Answer:

The value of x is 1.2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given problem we have been given a known ratio and another ratio of which one value is unknown. We can write a ratio in the form of a division, we will be equating both the ratios to find the value of x by cross multiplying.

The given ratios are 0.75:x and 5:8

Equating both the ratios:

$\frac{0.75}{x} =\frac{5}{8} \\x=\frac{6}{5} =1.2$

Thus the value of x is 1.2

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of xis 0.47.

Step-by-step explanation:

By the question,

0.75:x=5:8

Now,

0.75/x=5/8

or, 8×x=5×0.75

or, 8x=3.75

or, x=3.75/8

or,x=0.468

=0.47

Hence, the value of x is 0.47
