Answer:

From https://www.quora.com/     it was from this person https://www.quora.com/profile/Connie-Wilcox-2

Step-by-step explanation:

In equation form, (2/5)x = 24.

Make each side into a fraction:

(2x)/5 = 24/1

And cross-multiply:

2x(1) = (5) (24)

So 2x = 120

Divide each side by 2:

x = 60

Verify:

If x = 60, then .1x = 6.

2/5 = 4/10

So, if (1/10) x = 6, then

(4/10) x = (6)(4) = 24
