You asked:

Solve \(3.6 : x=0.4 : 0.5\) for the variable \(x\).

MathBot Answer:

$$\begin{aligned}x &= \frac{9}{2} = 4.5000\end{aligned}$$

First, simplify the equation.\[3.6 : x = 0.4 : 0.5\]\[36 : 10 x=4 : 5\]

Express both ratios as fractions. \[\frac{36}{10 x} = \frac{4}{5}\]

Cross-multiply and solve for the unknown. $$\begin{aligned}\frac{36}{10 x} &= \frac{4}{5} \\ 180 &= 40 x \\ x &&= \frac{9}{2} &= 4.5000 \end{aligned}$$
