Question

What is the value of x to the nearest tenth?

Answer 1

hint: use proportions. Can you set one up? ratio1=ratio2

Answer 2

12 * 4.4 / 4.6 = 11.76?

Answer 3

I do not know the answer and I have a difficult time following your work.

Answer 4

The procedure I gave you may not work. This is not a right triangle

Answer 5

I am not a fan of this problem, but if I was required to provide a solution the best I could do is\[\frac{4.4}{4.6}=\frac{12.3}{x}\]Solve for x.

Answer 6

so it would be 12.85 which when its rounded it would be 12.9

Answer 7

@slurpee That is the best I have, let me know if it works.

Answer 8

yep thats the right answer.

you could also write it as:

x/4.4 = 12.3/4.6
