Solve 3.5/5.6=3/X

$$\frac { 3.5 } { 5.6 } = \frac { 3 } { X }$$

Solve for X

$$X=4.8$$

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.

$$X\times \frac{3.5}{5.6}=3$$

Expand \frac{3.5}{5.6} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$X\times \frac{35}{56}=3$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{35}{56} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 7.

$$X\times \frac{5}{8}=3$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{8}{5}, the reciprocal of \frac{5}{8}.

$$X=3\times \frac{8}{5}$$

Express 3\times \frac{8}{5} as a single fraction.

$$X=\frac{3\times 8}{5}$$

Multiply 3 and 8 to get 24.

$$X=\frac{24}{5}$$
