Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To solve the equation $\frac{7}{4}x = 52.85$ using the multiplication principle, you multiply both sides by the reciprocal of $\frac{7}{4}$, which is $\frac{4}{7}$, to isolate $x$. Thus, $x = 52.85 \times \frac{4}{7} = 30.2$. However, none of the options match this result exactly, and it seems there was a mistake in the interpretation of the options or the calculation. The correct calculation leads to $x = 30.2$, but this answer is not listed among the options provided, indicating a possible error in the question or the answer choices.
