4.x/3=31
4x=31/3
x=31/3.1/4
x=31/12

Answer 3

@Mrs_Allison
I think you have misread the question

@tiff9702
is it
\[\frac{ x }{ 3 }= 3\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]

Answer 4

Oh!!!! im sorry, ill do it again for you

Answer 5

@MrNood Yes it is

Answer 6

multiply both sides by 3
that will give you the answer immediately

Answer 7

x=9/4

Answer 8

x/3=3.1/4
4x/3=3
4x=9
x=9/4

Answer 9

@Mrs.Allison
That is not correct

Answer 10

how so?

Answer 11

multiply 3 and 1 quarter by 3

Answer 12

@tiff9702
can you do this?

multiply BOTH sides of the equation by 3

@Mrs.Allison Please leave the answer for asker to try

Answer 13

what i did its correct, im pretty sure. I´m a math teacher --´

Answer 14

Well - I assure you it is very wrong

Answer 15

@Mrs.Allison
If oyu wan to do it your way (which is more complicated than mine) then first youmust convert the right side to improper fraction 13/4

Answer 16

\[\frac{ x }{ 3 } = 3* \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]\[\frac{ x }{3 }= \frac{ 3 }{ 4 }\]\[x = \frac{ 3 }{ 4 } * 3\]\[x = \frac{ 9 }{ 4 }\]

Answer 17

did your answer was the same as mine?

Answer 18

calm yourself down please. And yes, if you multiply one side of the equation by 3 you have to multiply the other one too

Answer 19

@Mateaus
I'm afraid your answer isALSO wrong

PLEASE just simply multiply BOTH sides by 3

x/3 *3 = x

(3 and 1/4) * 3 =????

Answer 20

isn't the main expression \[\frac{ x }{ 3 } = 3 * \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]??

Answer 21

no - there is no multiply on the right side

it is 3 and 1/4 = (13/4)

Answer 22

how did you get 13?

Answer 23

3 = 12/4
+ 1/4

= 13/4

Answer 24

there is no a + which is why I assumed it was multiplication

Answer 25

but it is the normal way of writing a whole number and fraction

Answer 26

What? I'm confused, if the 3 is multiplying the 1/4 then my answer is correct, it is not, then I don't know what is that 3 suppose to mean, there's no signal

Answer 27

Then it is 3 multiplied by 1/4

Answer 28

@tiff9702 What is the sign between 3 and 1/4?

Answer 29

NO it's not!!

Just SAY it "" three and a quarter"

like "two and five eights"

or "six and three sixteenths"

it is
\[3\frac{ 3 }{ 4}\]

Answer 30

sorry
\[3\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]

Answer 31

so...

Answer 32

so

\[\frac{ x }{ 3 } = \frac{ 13 }{ 4 }\]

so
\[x=\frac{ 39 }{ 4} = 9\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }\]

Answer 33

Well according to tiff there is not a sign so we can assume it is how MrNood is describing it.

Answer 34

There's no sign?

Answer 35

@tiff9702
I expect you have lost interest by now

My answer above is correct as you confirmed my original post of your equation.

Answer 36

She just told me it looks the same as how MrNood is showing.

Answer 37

lol

Answer 38

Solving problems mhmm hmmm
