(3/10)/(7/8) = 1/x

(3/10)x = 7/8

x = (7/8) / (3/10)

x = (7/8) * (10/3)

x = ?

1 inch = ____ miles

Thank you Ms. Sue

You're welcome.

I don’t understand

The answer is: ############

well thats unhelpful

Answer the question

The answer is 12/35.

Multiply both sides by 8/7:
8/7*3/10in = 8/7*7/8mile.
24/70in = 1 mile
12/35in = 1 mile.
0.343in = 1 mile.

Thx Ig

wait how many inches equal a mile im confused

how about learn 2 + 2 first and stop looing for a specific answer.

For an actual mile, there are 63360 inches in a mile. This doesn't apply to this problem however, so there's a little fun fact for you.

Anyways onto the real problem. 3/10 in = 7/8 mi. To find a unit rate, we have to divide the two fractions. In this case, 3/10 divided by 7/8. Using a calculator you may simply get the answer 24/70 by dividing the two fractions. So there you have it! 24/70 in.
But wait, there's more!
you can also say 12/35 in as a simplified answer.
0.343 too! you get this by turning 12/35 into a decimal, taking your decimal and then rounding it to the nearest thousandth.
In this math problem, all these SHOULD equal a mile. Hope this helps!
