Examples on Solve for Unknown Value of X in a Fraction

Question 1: Solve for x for the fraction 2/3 = x/6?

Solution:

Given 2/3 = x/6

Cross multiplying the fractions we have 2 x 6 = x* 3

12 = 3x

x = 12/3

x = 4

Thus the unknown value is 4

Question 2: Solve for x for the fraction x/8 = 4/6?

Solution:

Given x/8 = 4/6

Cross multiplying the fractions we have x * 6 = 8* 4

6x = 32

x = 32/6

x = 16/3

Thus the unknown value is 16/3

Therefore, the value of x in the fraction x/8 = 4/6 is 16/3 3.75.

Question 3: Find the value of y in the fraction 17/y = 32/15?

Solution:

The given expression is 17/y = 15

Cross multiplying the fractions we have 2 x 6 = x* 3

32 x y = 17 x 15

32y = 255

y = 255/32

y = 7.968

Question 4: Solve for x for the fraction x/8 = 4/6?

Solution:

Given x/8 = 4/6

Cross multiplying the fractions we have x * 6 = 8* 4

6x = 32

x = 32/6

x = 16/3

Thus the unknown value is 16/3

Therefore, the value of x in the fraction x/8 = 4/6 is 16/3 3.75.
