Given the numerical statement:
X times 4 equals 2 and two thirds
Determine the value of x.
Solution:
The given numerical statement can be written as,
4x = 2 ⅔
In order to easily determine the value of x, we first change the mixed number to improper fraction. To do so, simply multiply the whole number to the denominator, and then add the product to the numerator.
2 ⅔
= 8/3
4x = 8/3
Divide both sides by 4 in order to cancel out 4x, leaving behind x.
4x/4 = 8/3 /4
x = 8/12
x = ⅔
Final answer:
x = ⅔
