What is the value of x in the proportion StartFraction 2 and one-fourth over x EndFraction = StartFraction 1 and one-half over 3 and three-fifths EndFraction?

Answer 1

geez -- ever hear of using actual math?

(2 1/4)/x = (1 1/2)/(3 3/5)
(9/4)/x = (3/2)/(18/5) = 3/2 * 5/18 = 15/36
x = 9/4 * 36/15 = 27/5 = 5 2/5

Answer 2
