D
Correct answer
Explanation
To find x, divide 1050 by 1400: x = 1050/1400 = 3/4. This simplifies to 0.75. Option D (3/4) is correct. The other options (1/4, 2/3, 3/5) do not equal 0.75 when calculated.
AI explanation
To find the value of x in the equation 1400 * x = 1050, we can divide both sides of the equation by 1400:
[ \frac{{1400 \cdot x}}{{1400}} = \frac{{1050}}{{1400}} ]
Simplifying the equation gives:
[ x = \frac{{1050}}{{1400}} ]
To further simplify, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 350:
[ x = \frac{{3 \cdot 350}}{{4 \cdot 350}} ]
This gives us:
[ x = \frac{3}{4} ]
Therefore, the correct answer is option D) 3/4.
