Solve x/0.01:30/0.015=2:5

$$\frac { x } { 0.01 } : \frac { 30 } { 0.015 } = 2 : 5$$

Solve for x

$$x=8$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide \frac{x}{0.01} by \frac{30}{0.015} by multiplying \frac{x}{0.01} by the reciprocal of \frac{30}{0.015}.

$$\frac{x\times 0.015}{0.01\times 30}=\frac{2}{5}$$

Multiply 0.01 and 30 to get 0.3.

$$\frac{x\times 0.015}{0.3}=\frac{2}{5}$$

Divide x\times 0.015 by 0.3 to get x\times 0.05.

$$x\times 0.05=\frac{2}{5}$$

Divide both sides by 0.05.

$$x=\frac{\frac{2}{5}}{0.05}$$

Express \frac{\frac{2}{5}}{0.05} as a single fraction.

$$x=\frac{2}{5\times 0.05}$$

Multiply 5 and 0.05 to get 0.25.

$$x=\frac{2}{0.25}$$

Expand \frac{2}{0.25} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$x=\frac{200}{25}$$

Divide 200 by 25 to get 8.

$$x=8$$
