Fractions Simplified
5 (1/5) > 26/5 > 5.2
8 (1/3) > 25/3 > 8.3333
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First Problem
(5 1/5) 5 = 25x; x = ?
(5.2)*5 = 25x; x = ?
26 = 25x; x = ?
x = 26/25
x = 1.04
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Second Problem
(8 1/3) 2 = 4x; x = ?
(8.3333)*2 = 4x; x = ?
16.66666 = 4x; x = ?
x = 16.66666/4
x = 4.166666
Estimated: x = 4.1667
Answer:
x = 0.5, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
(5 1/5) 5 = 25^x
5/25 = 25^x/25
0.5 = x
(8 1/3) 2 = 4^x
4 = 4^x
1 = x
