How do you solve #v/46=34/23#?

Answer 1

Abigail Allen

Recall Cross Multiplying: #a/b=c/d =>a*d=b*c#

First use the concept of cross multiplying. In this case, #v/46 = 34/23#

#=>v * 23 = 46*34# #=>v = (46*34) / 23 = 68#

#v=68#

#"multiply both sides by 46"#

#cancel(46)xxv/cancel(46)=cancel(46)^2xx34/cancel(23)^1#

#rArrv=2xx34=68#
