Question

If 3/14 is equivalent to x/42 then the value of x is *

Answer 1

Answer:

9

Step-by-step explanation:

To check our answer,

3/14 = x/42

42 = 14 * 3

Thus, 3/14 * 3/3 = x/42

Thus, x = 3 * 3

x = 9

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

$\pink{\boxed{ \sf{ \frac{3}{14} = \frac{x}{42} }}} \\ \clubsuit \bf{ \:cross \: multiply}$

$\tt{3 \times 42 = x = 14}$

$\bf{126 = 14x}$

$\mathfrak{ \cancel{ \dfrac{126}{14}} = x }$

$\bf{9 = x}$

$\underline{\pink{\boxed{\therefore \: 9 \tt{ \: is \: the \: value \: of \: x.}}}}$
