Answer 2

@KamiBug

Answer 3

You need to solve the equation for x.
The goal is to have x = ____
What is happening to x?
It is being multiplied by 1/56
What can you multiply 1/56 by to get 1?

Answer 4

@mathstudent55 u get 1/56 because ur multiplying for example 1 x 1

Answer 5

i think?

Answer 6

@KamiBug what do u think, and your profile pic i freaking me out..

Answer 7

You want to do the opposite to x of whatever is already being done to it to get it alone on one side of the equation, if that makes any sense Lol. So we see x is being multiplied by 1/56 and the opposite of multiplication is division.
So when we divide 1/56x by 1/56, the 1/56 cancels out leaving just x. But we need the equation to be balanced so we will also divide the other side by 1/56.
Do you know how to find 1/8 divided by 1/56 ? :)
And I'm sorry it's freaking you out. XD

Answer 8

B, i dont know

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

x is being multiplied by 1/56.

Reciprocals are two numbers that multiply to 1.
If you know a number and you want its reciprocal, if the number is a fraction, just flip the fraction. That is the reciprocal. If the number is not a fraction, then first write the number as a fraction, then flip it.
In this case, we have 1/56.
The reciprocal of 1/56 is obtained by just flipping the fraction.
The reciprocal of 1/56 is 56/1, which is simply 56.

To solve the equation, multiply both sides of the equation by 56.

\(\dfrac{1}{56} x = \dfrac{1}{8} \)

\(\dfrac{56}{1} \times \dfrac{1}{56} x = \dfrac{56}{1} \times \dfrac{1}{8} \)

\(x = \dfrac{56}{8} \)

\(x = 7\)
