Solve .002/.0001=.04/x

$$\frac { .002 } { .0001 } = \frac { .04 } { x }$$

Solve for x

$$x=0.002$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Variable x cannot be equal to 0 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by x.

$$x\times \frac{0.002}{0.0001}=0.04$$

Expand \frac{0.002}{0.0001} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10000. Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$x\times 20=0.04$$

Divide both sides by 20.

$$x=\frac{0.04}{20}$$

Expand \frac{0.04}{20} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{4}{2000}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{4}{2000} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$x=\frac{1}{500}$$
