Solve 4.8div4=1.4divx

$$4.8 \div 4=1.4 \div x$$

Solve for x

$$x = \frac{7}{6} = 1\frac{1}{6} \approx 1.166666667$$

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 4x, the least common multiple of 4,x.

$$x\times 4.8=4\times 1.4$$

Multiply 4 and 1.4 to get 5.6.

$$x\times 4.8=5.6$$

Divide both sides by 4.8.

$$x=\frac{5.6}{4.8}$$

Expand \frac{5.6}{4.8} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{56}{48}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{56}{48} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 8.

$$x=\frac{7}{6}$$
