How do you solve #g/16=6/4#?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(16)# to solve for #g# while keeping the equation balanced:

#color(red)(16) xx g/16 = color(red)(16) xx 6/4#

#cancel(color(red)(16)) xx g/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(16))) = cancel(color(red)(16))4 xx 6/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(4)))#

#g = 4 xx 6#

#g = 24#

To solve the equation g/16 = 6/4, you can cross-multiply. Multiply 6 by 16 to get 96, and multiply 4 by g to get 4g. Therefore, the equation becomes 4g = 96. To isolate g, divide both sides of the equation by 4. This gives you g = 24.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
