solve 1/3 x =12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/3 x =12 multiply both sides by (3/1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply 12 by 1/3 so 12/1*1/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply 3 to each side to get rid of the fraction and you end up with 1x=36 or x=36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, you don't divide

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4! NOT 36

OpenStudy (anonymous):

36 because to divide by a fraction you multiply by the reciprocal. I am sorry for the confusion.
