Question

$75=27x$

Given the equation above, what is the value of $\frac{x}{25}$ ?

Answer 1

We want to find the value of $\frac{x}{25}$

First we notice that $75=25\times 3$

If we divide both side by 25

$\frac{75}{25}=\frac{27x}{25}$

$3=\frac{27x}{25}$

Divide by 27 on both side

$\frac{3}{27}=\frac{27x}{25\times 27}$

$\frac{1}{9}=\frac{x}{25}$

Thus the value of $\frac{x}{25}$ is $\frac{1}{9}$.
