If 0.08 = 1/x. How to find "X"?

Question

If

0.08 = 1/x

then how do I find X? I don't know how to rearrange this lol.. thanks

The question is from Chemistry, where the rate = 1/time (s) and at this point it's 0.08, and I have to find out how many seconds into the reaction it is

Thanks so much for any help, I feel stupid :( lol

Answer 1

1/x =0.08

1 = 0.08x

x = 1/0.08

x = 12.6  

Answer 2

Finding x:

0.08 = 1/x

0.08x = 1 multiply both sides with 25

2x = 25

x = 25/2 or 12 1/2 or 12.5

Answer: x = 12.5

Proof:

0.08 = 1/(25/2)

0.08 = 2/25

0.08 = 0.08

Answer 3

cross multiplication

.08 = 1 / x

0.08 x = 1

x = 1 / 0.08

Answer 4

0.08 = 1/x

0.08x = 1

x = 1/0.08

x = 100/8

x = 25/2 (12.5)

Answer 5

0,08 = 1 / x

0,08 * x = 1

x = 1 / 0,08

x = 12,5 [seconds]

Answer 6

0.08 = 1/ x

=> x= 1/0.08

=> 12.5 sec

ans is 12.5 secs

Answer 7

0.08= 1/x

0.08x= 1/x/ x

0.08x=1

x=12.5
