2/5
(1/4)x = 5/8 Where x is the number if months. Solve for x
A quarter inch a month is 1/4 also it can written as 2/8 per month, so.... 2/8 time what = 5/8
2/5 or 2/8?
simplified 2x = 5 solve for x
Good work retired
@retirEEd 2/8 x what equals 5/8 please help. :/
I tried converting it into decimal and getting then answer but I don't know..
2x/8 = 5/8 The eights cancel so... Simplified 2x = 5 solve for x x = _______
Let x = months it will take for Rusty's hair to get to 5/8in \[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x = \frac{ 5 }{ 8 }\]
@ShadowLegendX I just don't know what times 2 equals 5
2 2/4
Isolate x by multiplying both sides by 4/1\[\frac{ 4 }{ 1 }(\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x = \frac{ 5 }{ 8 }) \rightarrow x = \frac{ 20 }{ 8 } \rightarrow x = \frac{ 5 }{ 2 }\]
\[x = \frac{ 5 }{ 2 } \rightarrow x = 2 \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }months\]
Forget what the other users said, they didn't explain it
yeah I know. Thanks @ShadowLegendX
No problem
Since, not sense
Seems to me like you don't understand this at all, and you just copied and pasted
@ShadowLegendX I did not copy and paste and now I understand it more clearly thanks to your help and retired
