Question

5/12= 10/x-1

Answer 1

x=25

Answer 2

How do you work this one? When I work it out I get

1/24 +1= x-1(+1) and get stuck

Answer 3

First you cross multiply, so you'd multiply 5 by ( x - 1 ) and then 10 x 12. What would that give you?

Answer 4

I thought you would multiply both sides by 1/10 in order to get x-1 alone?

Answer 5

No, you cross multiply. That part comes later in the problem.
