Question #56387

Answer 1

`30`

Explanation:

You can solve it with an equation like this:
`\frac{x}{6}=\frac{40}{8}`

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

`x=6*5`

`x=30`

Answer 2

See a solution process below:

Note: Assuming you are looking for the value of "Blank"

Explanation:

We can rewrite this problem as:

`"Blank"/6 = 40/8`

Now, we can multiply each side of the equation by `color(red)(6)` to solve for `"Blank"` while keeping the equation balanced:

`color(red)(6) xx "Blank"/6 = color(red)(6) xx 40/8`

`cancel(color(red)(6)) xx "Blank"/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(6))) = 240/8`

`"Blank" = (30 xx 8)/8`

`"Blank" = (30 xx color(red)(cancel(color(black)(8))))/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(8)))`

`"Blank" = 30/1`

`"Blank" = 30`

Answer 3

30

Explanation:

`x÷6 =40÷8`

`x/6 =40/8`

Multiply both sides by 6

`x/cancel6*cancel6 =40/8*6`

`x=40/(cancel2*4)*(cancel2*3)=40/4*3=10*3=30`

`x÷6 =40÷8=>x=30`
