How do you solve #9/g=15/10#?

Answer 1

Eva Adamson

#g=6#

Refer to the explanation for the process.

Solve:

#color(blue)(9)/color(blue)g=color(red)15/color(red)10#

Cross multiply each denominator by the opposite numerator.

#color(blue)9xxcolor(red)10=color(red)15xxcolor(blue)g#

Simplify.

#90=15g#

Divide both sides by #15#

#90/15=g#

Simplify.

#6=g#

Switch sides.

#g=6#

To solve the equation 9/g = 15/10, you can cross-multiply. Multiply 9 by 10 to get 90, and multiply g by 15 to get 15g. This gives you the equation 90 = 15g. To isolate g, divide both sides of the equation by 15. The solution is g = 6.
