To solve this equation, we can first simplify the right side:
3 1/6 = 19/613 1/3 = 40/3
Now we have:
(x - 0.8) / (16/19) = 19/6 / 40/3
Reciprocal the divisor:
(x - 0.8) / (16/19) = 19/6 * 3/40
Simplify the right side:
(x - 0.8) / (16/19) = 57/240
Now cross multiply:
240(x - 0.8) = 16 * 57
240x - 192 = 912
Add 192 to both sides:
240x = 1104
Divide by 240:
x = 4.6
Therefore, the solution to the equation is x = 4.6.
To solve this equation, we can first simplify the right side:
3 1/6 = 19/6
13 1/3 = 40/3
Now we have:
(x - 0.8) / (16/19) = 19/6 / 40/3
Reciprocal the divisor:
(x - 0.8) / (16/19) = 19/6 * 3/40
Simplify the right side:
