How do you work this problem3/8 : 2 = 6/?

32

Step-by-step explanation:

3/8/2=6/?. I'm replacing the? with a variable, x, because in HS and College math, that's what you do instead of a?.

First, do (3/8) : 2, and you keep the numerator, but multiply 8*2, giving you 16, so (3/8) : 2 = 3/16.

3/16=6/x

Cross multply to solve for x, and you get 96=3x. Divide 3x by 3 to get x alone, then divide 96 by 3, giving you 32.
