Solve 6/8=0.8/x

$$\frac{ 6 }{ 8 } = \frac{ 0.8 }{ x }$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{16}{15} = 1\frac{1}{15} \approx 1.066666667$$

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 8x, the least common multiple of 8,x.

$$x\times 6=8\times 0.8$$

Multiply 8 and 0.8 to get 6.4.

$$x\times 6=6.4$$

Divide both sides by 6.

$$x=\frac{6.4}{6}$$

Expand \frac{6.4}{6} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{64}{60}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{64}{60} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$x=\frac{16}{15}$$
