Solve 4.8div8=0.5divx

$$4.8 \div 8=0.5 \div x$$

Solve for x

$$x=\frac{5}{6}\approx 0.833333333$$

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.

$$x\times 4.8=8\times 0.5$$

Multiply 8 and 0.5 to get 4.

$$x\times 4.8=4$$

Divide both sides by 4.8.

$$x=\frac{4}{4.8}$$

Expand \frac{4}{4.8} by multiplying both numerator and the denominator by 10.

$$x=\frac{40}{48}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{40}{48} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 8.

$$x=\frac{5}{6}$$
