Solve 4/x=5/1.25

$$\frac{ 4 }{ x } = \frac{ 5 }{ 1.25 }$$

Solve for x

$$x=1$$

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.

$$4=x\times \frac{5}{1.25}$$

Expand \frac{5}{1.25} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 100.

$$4=x\times \frac{500}{125}$$

Divide 500 by 125 to get 4.

$$4=x\times 4$$

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

$$x\times 4=4$$

Divide both sides by 4.

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

Divide 4 by 4 to get 1.

$$x=1$$
