Hello! I need some help with a project I am working on. Here goes where I got stuck: I figured out that (3/2) of 112 is 168.

(3/2)112 = 168

Now, I want (11/5) of x to equal 168 as well.

(11/5)x = 168

How do I figure this out???

Also, what if I wanted to do something like;

(17/4)x = 168

Please help!!! Thanks again everyone!

If you have

M * x = N

then

x = N/M
