Solve 1/4:1/8=x:3

$$\frac { 1 } { 4 } : \frac { 1 } { 8 } = x : 3$$

Solve for x

$$x=6$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

$$3\times \frac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{8}}=x$$

Divide \frac{1}{4} by \frac{1}{8} by multiplying \frac{1}{4} by the reciprocal of \frac{1}{8}.

$$3\times \frac{1}{4}\times 8=x$$

Multiply \frac{1}{4} and 8 to get \frac{8}{4}.

$$3\times \frac{8}{4}=x$$

Divide 8 by 4 to get 2.

$$3\times 2=x$$

Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.

$$6=x$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x=6$$
