Solve 2/1.5=.25/x

$$\frac{ 2 }{ 1.5 } = \frac{ .25 }{ x }$$

Solve for x

$$x=0.1875$$

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.

$$x\times \frac{2}{1.5}=0.25$$

Expand \frac{2}{1.5} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x\times \frac{20}{15}=0.25$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{20}{15} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 5.

$$x\times \frac{4}{3}=0.25$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{3}{4}, the reciprocal of \frac{4}{3}.

$$x=0.25\times \frac{3}{4}$$

Convert decimal number 0.25 to fraction \frac{25}{100}. Reduce the fraction \frac{25}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.

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

Multiply \frac{1}{4} times \frac{3}{4} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.

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

Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1\times 3}{4\times 4}.

$$x=\frac{3}{16}$$
