How do you solve #v/0.23=7/1.61#?

Answer 1

Isaiah Anthony

See a solution process below:

Multiply each side of the equation by #color(red)(0.23)# to solve for #v# while keeping the equation balanced:

#color(red)(0.23) xx v/0.23 = color(red)(0.23) xx 7/1.61#

#cancel(color(red)(0.23)) xx v/color(red)(cancel(color(black)(0.23))) = 1.61/1.61#

#v = 1#

To solve the equation v/0.23 = 7/1.61, you can cross-multiply and then solve for v. Multiply 0.23 by 7 and divide the result by 1.61 to find the value of v.

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.
